Leighanne Robe lifts lid on 'full circle' Liverpool moment and emotional exit

Defender Leighanne Robe has vowed Liverpool will always be "close to her heart" despite the fact she is leaving the club this summer.

Robe arrived on Merseyside in 2018 after a spell with Millwall Lionesses and has since made more than 100 appearances for the Reds. An integral part of Liverpool's Championship-winning team, Robe has seen her game time restricted this term and is one the seven players who will seek pastures new upon the imminent expiration of their contracts.

While the 29-year-old admits it has been a "difficult" campaign for her personally, she described her final Liverpool appearance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United as a "full circle moment", having made her debut against the same opposition five years ago.
