City Women confirm trio of departures.

15 Jun 2026

Bristol City Women can confirm the departure of three senior players following the conclusion of the 2025/26 Barclays Women’s Super League 2 season.

Harley Bennett, Jackie Burns and academy graduate Tianna Teisar, will all leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts.

Teisar began her journey at City's academy before signing her first professional contract on her 18th birthday back in September 2023.

The forward broke into the Robins’ senior squad in 2022 and went on to make further appearances during the 2022/23 Barclays Championship season.

Teisar spent last season on loan with Plymouth Argyle where she was named Young Player of the Season.

Bennett joined City in August 2024 and made her debut against Southampton before going on to represent the Robins 40 times.

Burns re-signed for City in January on loan deal until the end of the season.

Interim CEO Lowri Roberts said: "We were pleased we were able to offer Harley her first pro contract in the summer of 2024 and she has made a great contribution over the last two seasons.

"Tianna, a product of our academy, has had a prolific season with her loan club Plymouth Argyle and we look forward to seeing her thrive and continue to develop with her next opportunity.  

"It was great to welcome Jackie back to the club in January - her positive energy and warmth brought a great boost to the High Performance Centre during one of the wettest winters on record in the South West. 

"All three know they will always have a warm welcome back at Ashton Gate and will always be part of the Bristol City Women family and journey."

All three players leave with the club’s best wishes and thanks for their contributions.
