Former Liverpool FC Women captain Sophie Bradley-Auckland has sent her thanks to fans for all their support during her time with the club.
The centre-back became a firm favourite during two seasons with the Reds before leaving last year to concentrate on her work in her family-run care home in Nottingham.
Bradley-Auckland was on the front line during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and could not risk the health of her residents by continuing to train and play football.
A new addition to the family with the arrival of son Harley in March this year further increased the off-pitch responsibilities for Bradley-Auckland, whose daughter Macie has just turned four.
