Chicago Stars FC and midfielder Leilanni Nesbeth mutually agreed to part ways, the team announced Tuesday. Nesbeth, 24, whose contract was due to expire at the 2026 season, is now free to pursue other opportunities.
“We’re grateful for everything that Leilanni has brought to the club during her three seasons in Chicago,” team president Karen Leetzow said. “She has shown the utmost dedication to our club and the Chicago community and wish her all the best and continued success in her next opportunity.”
Chicago drafted Nesbeth with the No. 10 pick in 2024 and she became the first Bermuda native to play in the NWSL. Nesbeth recorded one goal and one assist in 33 appearances with Chicago from 2024-26.
