Morgan is likely to join a National Women’s Soccer League club in the US.
Morgan came through City’s youth ranks, making his professional debut in 2017 and appearing in 87 senior matches across all competitions.
She won the FA Women’s Cup and League Cup with City, and was part of the team that came second to Chelsea in the WSL this season, losing the title on the final day.
“For nine years I was lucky enough to live a dream and have the honor of playing for my club,” Morgan said in a statement posted on Facebook. X.
“I am extremely grateful for the support from everyone at Man City throughout my journey from the academy to the first team, continually opening doors for me to develop as a player and as a person, and always at the right time.”
Morgan made her debut for the England senior team in October 2022 and was part of the team that reached the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
