Liverpool Ladies winger Nicole Rolser has returned to her native Germany and signed for Bayern Munich.
The 23-year-old, who joined the Reds in 2013 and won their Players' Player of the Year award in 2014, played 20 Women's Super League games for the club and scored 11 goals.
Speaking after Liverpool confirmed the news on Friday, Rolser said: "I have had a fantastic few seasons at Liverpool Ladies and have thoroughly enjoyed my time in England.
"When I first joined Liverpool we were a team in a transition period but I now leave behind a club that has won back-to-back league titles as well as establishing itself as a Champions League side.
"I would like to thank my team-mates and all of the staff at Liverpool for their support over the last few seasons, with a special mention to Kirsty Hicks and Kathryn Wise for helping with my rehabilitation from my cruciate ligament injury.
"I will take some fantastic memories with me but I simply could not turn down the opportunity to go back to Germany to play for a club as big as Bayern Munich."
Liverpool Ladies manager Matt Beard said: "I would like to thank Nici for her contribution to Liverpool Ladies, especially in our first title-winning season. She has been a pleasure to work with and I wish her luck for the future."
