Lionesses goalkeeper Hannah Hampton to leave Aston Villa

Hannah Hampton, a custodian for England, will leave Aston Villa this summer when her contract expires. Hampton followed head coach Carla Ward to Aston Villa from Birmingham City in the summer of 2021, where he had spent the past two seasons. Hampton, widely regarded as one of the league’s most promising young goalkeepers, declined a contract extension with Villa, who finished an unprecedented sixth in the standings under manager Carla Ward. Throughout her two seasons with the team, the custodian has played 43 times for The Villans across all competitions.

Hampton recovered from a difficult first half of the 2022/2023 season, and so far, in 2023, she has been in excellent shape. The player has received a recall to England in recognition of her strong performances while wearing a claret and blue jersey. Hampton has had a successful time with Aston Villa, but she has decided that the moment is perfect to choose a new challenge. As a result, the player will depart the team on July 1, when she becomes a free agent. The Barclays Women’s Super League’s rivals Chelsea and Manchester United are rumoured to be interested in signing the custodian.

The Football Scores Today reports that Chelsea has spoken with Hampton and is eager to increase their already impressive depth. The report of today indicates that Aston Villa manager Ward will search the market for a new custodian this summer.
