Bristol City head coach Lauren Smith has voiced her disappointment over the FA’s compensation system after the Robins have been left short-changed by the departure of Brooke Aspin to Chelsea.
Aspin has completed a move to the WSL champions, with the 18-year-old being loaned back to Ashton Gate for the duration of the 2023/24 season, but City have received no financial credit for the development of the young defender.
Aspin emerged through the City academy after being signed when she was just 14 and has become a first-team regular over the last two seasons in the Championship but has elected to sign a first professional contract with Chelsea.
