City Women | Nieve Rowbottom to depart

Nieve Rowbottom
Defender Nieve Rowbottom is to depart the Bluebirds following the expiration of her contract due to relocating this summer.

Nieve joined City in August 2024 and made her debut for the Club in the UEFA Women's Champions League against FC Twente, going on to make her league bow against Cardiff Metropolitan University in September of that year.

Her first season as a Bluebird resulted in winning the Adran Premier title and the Bute Energy Welsh Cup, claiming the latter again in our most recent campaign by defeating Swansea City in a penalty shootout.

Nieve was named our 2025/26 Player of the Season and amassed a total of 52 appearances for the Club, scoring on five occasions.

We'd like to thank Nieve for her efforts as she leaves with our very best wishes.
