West Ham United have announced the departure of midfielder Kristie Mewis. She joined the Hammers in December 2023 from Gotham FC and made four appearances for the club. Mewis has played for several high-profile teams throughout her career, including Bayern Munich, Washington Spirit, Chicago Red Stars, and Houston Dash. In November 2024,
Kristie Mewis announced her pregnancy.
Manager Rehanne Skinner said: “On behalf of everyone at the Club, I would like to thank Kristie for her contributions to West Ham United during her time in east London.
“Kristie has been unlucky with injuries since she joined us so probably hasn’t played in the famous Claret and Blue as many times as she would have liked, but it’s still been a total pleasure having someone of her calibre and experience within our team environment.
“As Kristie starts to navigate her new norm of motherhood, we fully appreciate that her priorities have changed and so, whatever the future has in store for her and her family, I would like to wish them all the very best.”
