Kellond-Knight departs Potsdam

Potsdam confirmed late last night (AEDT) they and Kellond-Knight had gone their separate ways.

Der Vertrag von @elise_kk8 wurde heute im beidseitigen Einvernehmen vorzeitig aufgelöst. Wir wünschen dir für deine Zukunft alles Gute, KK! #turbinepotsdam #turbinen #DieLiga #frauenfussball

It comes after the 27-year-old, who joined Potsdam in 2015 after leaving the Brisbane Roar, only extended her contract until 2019 last year.

"My time in Potsdam was an unforgettable experience and I will be forever grateful that I have met so many great people here," said Kellond-Knight.

"Turbine will always have a place in my heart, but for me it's time to go home, to Australia. 

"My goal is to play again in the Australian professional league, because I think that there are many positive steps going on there right now and I would like to be part of it," she said.

 

And so life rolls on! Today is my last day here with @turbinepotsdam. Thank you to everyone that made my time in Germany unforgettable. So many great memories, so many great friendships. You'll never be forgotten ♥

However, as the W-League season came to end on Sunday, it looks as though Kellond-Knight could be looking to the NWSL.

.@elise_kk8: „Turbine will always have a place in my heart but it’s time to return home. There’s a lot of positive development going on there and I’d like to be a part of it.“ But since the season is already over she added: „I might also play in the NWSL.“

This is the third player to leave Potsdam this week as German WNT midfielder Tabea Kemme and Swiss WNT Lia Wälti choose not renew their expired contracts.
