Kerr has scored 115 goals in 177 appearances for the Blues and her final game for the west London side will be at home to Manchester United on Saturday.

The 32-year-old has helped Chelsea win five Women's Super League titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and the Community Shield.

"When I reflect on my Chelsea career and doing it for the last time, I just feel happy," said Kerr in a club statement. "Happy that it happened, and I feel so grateful to have played for this club for six years and won as many trophies as we could."
