Toni Duggan Announces Barcelona Departure as England Forward Seeks 'New Challenge'

England forward Toni Duggan has announced that she is leaving FC Barcelona Femeni after two years with the club.

Duggan is part of the Lionesses squad who were cruelly defeated by USA in the semi-final of the World Cup, and although the 27-year-old did not feature against the States, she is expected to play some part in the third-place play-off against Sweden.

The Liverpool-born player took to Twitter to announce her departure from the Catalan giants on Friday afternoon. The former Everton star expressed her gratitude to the fans, staff and her teammates for what she described as an 'incredible experience'.
