Melbourne City have confirmed striker Hannah Wilkinson will now leave the club following the conclusion of her contract.
After three seasons in Melbourne, Wilkinson departs as City Women’s all-time leading goalscorer having notched an impressive 30 goals in 51 appearances for the reigning Liberty A-League Premiers.
“I’d like to thank the fans, my amazing teammates, the coaching staff and everyone at the Club for supporting me during my time at City,” said Wilkinson when speaking with the club’s in-house media.
“To win the Premiers Plate this past season, with this group of girls, was simply incredible and is something that I will never forget.
She added: “I’ve loved my time at City and wish everyone all the best for next season.”

Wilkinson played a crucial role for Dario Vidosic’s side this season – bagging 10 goals and one assist – as they went on to claim the Premiership in dramatic fashion, pipping hot-favourites Sydney FC on the final day of the campaign.
Furthermore, as recognition for her excellent season in Melbourne the Football Ferns legend also represented the inaugural A-League Women All Stars team as they took on Arsenal’s women at Marvel Stadium.
“It’s important to recognise the influence that Hannah has had on our squad,” said Melbourne City head coach Dario Vidosic.
“She joined City as an internationally capped player with a wealth of experience and has been a positive role model and mentor for our younger players.
“Hannah’s performances have earned her great individual accolades, but more importantly have played a big part in what we’ve been able to build towards as a squad, culminating in us winning the Premiers Plate.”
