jo potter just retired

Ah damn, it's to have been expected but sad all the same. She's undoubtedly done so much during these 21 years, experienced so many changes and milestones and become one of England's best. Now I can't wait to see what the future holds in store for her on a professional and coaching level!!

🙏 Reading FC Women issue thanks as out of contract players depart

Following the early termination of the FAWSL season due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, all Reading FC Women eyes are now focused on planning and preparing for the 2020-21 campaign.

And Reading FC Women can confirm that a number of first team players will not be renewing contracts at the club after their deals expire this summer. We would like to wish Mayumi Pacheco, Millie Farrow, Jo Potter, Rachael Laws, Sophie Howard and Maxime Bennink the very best of luck in their future careers.

And we also bid farewell to long-serving Royals Remi Allen and Charlie Estcourt. Remi Allen joined the club in our first top flight campaign and has been an important member of the squad ever since. Charlie came through the ranks, having first joined the Reading FC Women ranks at the age of 8. After a short spell with Chelsea’s youth system, she returned to our WSL Academy at the age of 16 to then break into our first team.

“I would personally like to put on record a massive thank you to all the players; every single one of them has played a huge part in the success and development of our club,” Royals boss Kelly Chambers said. “I cannot thank them enough for all their efforts and what they have given to myself as manager, the team and the club as a whole during their careers at Reading. "It is never easy saying goodbye to players, but I would like to personally wish them all the best in their next adventure.”

Fara: [runs up to Jo] Do you want to make £10?

Jo: How?

Fara: I need you to take the blame for something.

Jade: [from the other end of the pitch] Oh my god!

Jo: What did you do?

Fara: I can’t tell you. Yes or no, no questions asked.

Jade: OH MY GOD!

Jo: Make it £20.

Jo Potter | Defender | #6

LOTS of releases at Reading. Jo Potter being one of them (although with Jade Moore at Orlando there might be more to that one)

my goodness these exits just keep getting worse and worse. I’m so sorry for them all, that’s 8 excellent players they’re releasing and some of them have been really vital this season and many in the past too. With Jade who has already left that’s at least 9 departures this year which really leaves Reading in a tight corner after the considerably impressive season they had. Even if they do bring in some top class replacements starting pre season with a team that’s practically half new is not an ideal situation, just look at Birmingham last year. Not only am I sorry for them and the team but I’m also kind of surprised, with the announcement of them playing at the men’s stadium next year of almost assumed they had a strong financial and resourceful structure in place, but with the furlough alongside all these departures then it looks like things aren’t as sunny as I though they were.

As for Jo Potter being on the list, well I’d assume that that’s the end of her playing career. She said before that this was probably her last contract so I’m not sure what will be next for her. Definitely working towards that Pro License and maybe going to the US with Jade. Whatever she plans on doing though I just hope she carries on having the success she’s had so far, and on a selfish note I just wish I’d been able to watch her play.

Ahh I’m actually really sad about all these players leaving, Reading is a great team with some fantastic personalities so seeing so many leave like this isn’t fun. Again I just hope they’ll be able to find offers and teams with relative ease...

jade moore to Orlando is an interesting move. is she still with Potter? Orlando seem to be making a few moves this season, got Ali Riley as well. Moore will certainly give them some midfield stability and muscle.

Well this is certainly unexpected... An interesting move to make when on the tail end of her career but as she said in the announcement after spending so long in the same league then a new challenge is always welcome. It also makes more sense when you consider the fact that she's worked with Mark Skinner before so he would have had an eye on her. Good move for Orlando though, goodness knows they needs some more strength and glue to hold then together so hopefully the new signings will give them that edge.

I do wonder what Jo Potter will do now since she also is head coach at coventry united so has more ties than just Reading in England. May have to be long distance for a year or so or maybe she will also go over there to do some coaching or something as she definitely said she was on her last contract with Reading. We shall have to wait and find out I guess
