Bleazard and Sherwood depart Academy


In the build-up to the 2012 FAWSL season, Bristol Academy have suffered two further losses to their playing squad; midfielders Helen Bleazard and Katie Sherwood leaving the West Country to join rivals Chelsea.

The departures compound a frustrating close-season that has also seen Dutch international star Anouk Hoogendijk return home to former club FC Utrecht, following just a single season in England's top flight.

The trio's migration will leave a gaping hole across the Academy midfield - winger Bleazard was an ever-present in the 2011 Super League campaign while Hoogendijk missed just a single game. Coupled with the international experience all three possess, the Vixens have lost a major part of the successful midfield that helped the club into their debut FA Cup final and European adventure in 2011.
