Wales striker Natasha Harding has left Women's Super League side Manchester City.

Harding joined City in March 2015 after her proposed move to Washington Spirit in the United States fell through when she was denied a visa.

The 26-year-old's exit comes after City signed Sweden striker Kosovare Asllani.

"To the Man City fans I want to say a special thanks and let you know how much your support has meant to me during my time at City"

"You made me feel welcome from day one and I appreciate everything you have done for me, I'll never forget it."

Harding spent five years at Cardiff City before switching to Bristol Academy in 2012.

She was appointed Wales vice-captain by manager Jayne Ludlow in 2015.
