RUESHA LITTLEJOHN LOOKS set for a fresh start at club level after parting company with Birmingham City.
The Republic of Ireland international joined the Women’s Super League side last January following a spell at Leicester City.
She went on to make 11 appearances, with the club announcing in June that the midfielder had been offered a new contract.
However, Littlejohn is in line to continue her career elsewhere after Birmingham City announced her departure in a brief statement issued this afternoon.
It reads: “Blues can confirm Ruesha Littlejohn has left the club. We would like to thank Ruesha for her efforts, and wish her the very best for the future.”
Littlejohn has featured prominently for Ireland since Vera Pauw’s reign as manager began in October 2019.
Having not played a competitive game for the Girls in Green for nearly two years, the 31-year-old midfielder was recalled and made five consecutive starts during the recent European Championship qualification campaign.
Cullen is so so so good, should be premier league. 3 million was an absolute joke of a price
@Sam Murray: yeah, a bit of insider trading by Kompany!
Watch out for dara costelloe….very impressive debut for a 19 year old….both feet ….missed one or two chances but on another day he could have scored a hat trick….gets into great positions….hope stephen kenny was watching ….I will watch his progress with interest….I agree too josh Cullen was a bargain at 3 million….Great game too
Young Costello has come a long way in a short time and he had a very impressive debut . Yes he missed one or two chances through being a tat anxious to score , but this will come with more game time . Best wishes to him going forward , and well done to kompany to give him a debut , but he sees this lad everyday and has that confidence in him .
@Tricksy: I’ve rarely seen a young kid who is completely comfortable on both feet….this gives him a huge advantage and yes…..well done to kompany for putting faith into a very young team….Burnley were amazing last night
@Seamus Kelly: This lad came through the local schoolboy grade in Limerick and went to England after his eighteenth birthday because of Brexit if I’m not mistaken ? But it’s probably not a bad thing being more mature going to a club either . Maybe previously , clubs were in a hurry to sign a lad with potential at a very young age for fear of missing out to another club .
