"It is with regret that we separate from Shirley, said Patrice Lair, the coach of the women's Paris Saint-Germain. But after all that she brought to the club, it was hard to deny her the opportunity. She was playing less this season and it was a good time for her to take up this challenge to finish her career. She will remain one of the most exceptional players I have managed. "The Parisian club also thanked the player" for his investment and exemplary for six years "and wish him" the best in the new challenges that await him now. "
