DONE DEAL: ​New Zealand women's skipper Riley departs Chelsea

New Zealand women captain Ali Riley has left Chelsea Women after a single season to join Bayern Munich.

The 31-year-old wing-back arrived from Swedish club Rosengard last summer but suffered a foot injury in pre-season.

"For a player her age, it's absolutely vital she's playing week in, week out. We couldn't guarantee that with the squad numbers we have," said Chelsea manager Emma Hayes.
