Namibia international Zenatha Coleman announced she has parted ways with Spanish Primera Iberdrola side Valencia.
The cancellation of the remaining matches in Spain early this month due to the coronavirus saw her two-year career journey which was supposed to expire on June 30 come to an end despite her 15th placed team retaining their top-flight status.
The 26-year-old joined the Spanish outfit in 2018 and she scored 11 goals in 42 appearances for Jose Bargues' team, including being nominated for the Player of the Week award on two occasions.
On Thursday, Valencia announced the departure of Coleman and nine other players after opting not to renew their contracts with the club.
Besides Coleman, Valencia also parted ways with her American-born Mexican roommate Monica Flores, Gio Carreras, Mari Paz Vilas, Carol Férez, Paula Nicart , Natalia Gaitán, Naiara Beristain, Mandy van den Berg and Maria Pi.
