Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah will leave Everton at the end of this month when her contract expires after 16 years with the Club.
Meanwhile, Jill Scott and Alisha Lehmann will return to their parent clubs after completing their loan spells with the Blues.
Boye-Hlorkah departs as one of Everton’s longest-serving players.
The 25-year-old forward joined the Club at under-10 level and made her first senior appearance aged 17. Liverpool-born Boye-Hlorkah scored her maiden goal soon after in a 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers Belles in May 2013.
The skilful attacker battled back from three anterior cruciate ligament injuries to become a prominent player for Everton since the team’s return to the Women’s Super League.
Featuring in 47 top-flight matches since 2017, Boye-Hlorkah scored five times, including a brilliant effort against Aston Villa last season.
She has also helped the team reach the FA Cup final twice during her time with the Toffees.
The England youth international was a member of the squad that reached the final in 2014, unfortunately missing the defeat to Arsenal through injury.
Boye-Hlorkah remained fit for Everton’s next journey to the final in November 2020, when she came off the bench against Manchester City at Wembley.
Everton manager Willie Kirk paid tribute to the departing forward.
“Chantelle has been an important part of my time here so far, and I want to thank her and wish her all the best for the future," he told evertonfc.com.
"I really enjoyed working with her and getting to know her as a person.
"She is a Blue through and through and it was evident every day in training how much the Club means to her.
"I know that she will want to return to the Club one day and complete some unfinished business.”
In January, Scott and Lehmann joined Kirk’s squad on loan from Manchester City and West Ham United respectively as Everton finished fifth in WSL.
The Club would like to thank all the departing players for their service and wishes them well for the future.
