Manchester City midfielder Jill Roord has left the club to join FC Twente on a permanent deal.
The Netherlands international, 28, leaves after making 47 appearances over two seasons after joining from Wolfsburg, and scoring 14 goals and adding six assists.
Her first season was cut short by an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury. She returned in time to feature 31 times in her second and final campaign.

The move sees Roord return to the Netherlands and to the club where she began her career, something she hopes will help her regain her “enjoyment” and “happiness”.
“I am very happy and proud to be returning to FC Twente,” she said. “I grew up here and developed myself here. I played abroad for fantastic clubs for a long time and gave my all for eight years.

“In recent years, I have increasingly lost my enjoyment of football and my happiness, and I can already feel that I will find that here immediately. I still have many ambitions. FC Twente has always been my club and performing with your own club is the best thing there is. I hope to play an important role in that.”
Twente were recently crowned Dutch champions for the third time in the last four seasons.
The club’s technical director Rene Roord — Jill’s father — is delighted to welcome her back to her first club.
“I am of course very pleased that we have brought such a top player back to FC Twente with Jill,” he added. “For her too, the circle is now complete. I also have a double happy feeling as a father, as a family, that your daughter will play again at the club where it all started in professional football.
“It also shows the ambitions of FC Twente and the people involved, that we have realised such a top transfer.”
Manchester City finished the Women’s Super League season fourth and outside the Champions League qualification places.
