Wales manager Gemma Grainger has stood down from her role as Wales manager with immediate effect.

Grainger, who succeeded Jayne Ludlow in March 2021, will take up a new head coach role with Norway.

Grainger guided Wales to the brink of qualification for their first major tournament, but lost out in the 2023 World Cup play-offs.

“Over the last three years I have given my heart and soul to our journey,” Grainger said.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to work with this group of players and staff, and to represent a nation that has supported the team with incredible pride and passion.

“I had no intention to leave Cymru, but I have been offered an unexpected opportunity that I could not turn down and it has been extremely difficult for me to get to this point. I hope you know the decision to leave has not been taken lightly.”
