A statement on the Notts County Ladies website read: "I’ve really enjoyed my time with Notts County Ladies FC.

"Although it hasn’t always been easy, it’s been a very rewarding role.

"I’m very proud of the squad of players we have here at Notts County, and it has been a pleasure to work with them over the past season, they are all such fantastic role models.

"I would like to thank all the players, and the staff, for their hard work in what has been a tough season, with lots of challenges, for everyone involved.

"I wish everyone at Notts County Ladies FC the best for the future, and I hope they can achieve the success the club deserves."
