[FAW] Defender Lisa Owen will end her 12-year stint with Cardiff City Women when her contact expires this summer. The 28-year-old has helped the Bluebirds win three Adran Premier titles, the Adran Trophy, six Bute Energy Welsh Cups, as well as reaching the Women's Champions League three times. Scoring on her return in December 2022 after giving birth was among Owen's Cardiff highlights.
The club thanked Owen for her "huge contribution to our success". Owen told Cardiff City TV: "It's been amazing. I've loved every minute of it and it's been a huge journey.
There was a time where you could look at the games in this league and you could predict who would win, you would know who would be in the top four every year. It wasn't as competitive as it is now; the Adran Premier is so different. "Teams are always taking points off each other and every game is difficult.
This year has been the most competitive it's ever been and it's great to see that. " She added: "There's been so many memories. Coming back after having a baby and scoring that goal on my return, that was so special.
