The 30-year-old star was a notable omission from the squad for the recent Manchester derby.

'I am leaving with a lot of amazing memories,' Kennedy wrote on Instagram.

Manchester City also confirmed the move, thanking the Aussie for her efforts and wishing her luck in the States. Meanwhile, Fowler has been in great form for City, scoring two excellent goals in a loss to cross-town rivals United earlier this month. She'll be on international duty for the Matildas when they take part in the SheBelieves Cup in the US for the first time.
