Tottenham Hotspur Women are heading into a significant summer rebuild after confirming a wave of departures alongside one important piece of good news.

Finland international Olga Ahtinen has committed her future to the club by putting pen to paper on a new long-term contract, providing some much-needed stability in midfield ahead of what promises to be a busy transfer window

The 28-year-old has made 55 appearances for Spurs since joining ahead of the 2023/24 season, contributing three goals from midfield. She has also represented Finland at two European Championships, earning 80 international caps across her career.

England and Graham Among High-Profile Exits

The headline departures are captain Bethany England and long-serving attacking midfielder Kit Graham, both of whom will leave when their contracts expire this summer. England joined midway through 2022/23 and made an immediate impact, scoring 13 goals in 14 games to help save the club from relegation before going on to captain the side and surpass 200 professional appearances.

Graham has been part of the furniture since 2019, arriving from Charlton Athletic and playing a key role in some of the club’s most historic moments, including their first WSL win over Arsenal and their run to the Women’s FA Cup final.

Four More Senior Players Also Leaving

Amy James-Turner, Luana Bühler, Charlotte Grant, and Josefine Rybrink will also depart at the end of the season. James-Turner started in the FA Cup final at Wembley in 2024, while Bühler, Grant and Rybrink each contributed during their respective spells before injuries and competition for places limited their involvement this term.

A Crucial Summer Ahead Under Martin Ho

Spurs are on course to finish fifth in the WSL this season, a substantial improvement on their 11th-place finish in 2024/25.

With ambitions of breaking into the top four, significant recruitment is expected in attack and defence before the 2026/27 campaign begins.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Andy Rogers will step down as managing director of the women’s team at the end of the season, bringing the curtain down on a 24-year association with the north London club.

Rogers took charge of the women’s setup in February 2023 and oversaw a period of genuine progress, which included the club’s first-ever Women’s FA Cup final appearance and a record WSL finish. He is departing to spend more time with his family.

Venkatesham Full of Praise for Rogers

CEO Vinai Venkatesham paid tribute to the outgoing managing director, crediting his leadership and professionalism as key drivers behind the foundations now in place at Spurs Women.

Venkatesham also pointed to a more ambitious vision set at the start of this season, one he expects to accelerate further going forward.

Rogers Reflects on the Most Rewarding Chapter of His Career

Rogers himself described his time leading the women’s team as the most personally and professionally fulfilling of his entire 24 years at the club. He singled out head coach Martin Ho, despite their limited time working together, as someone whose passion and determination to win has already transformed the environment around the squad.

Rogers also reserved special praise for the staffing group he helped build, expressing full confidence in their ability to carry the club’s ambitions forward.

What Comes Next for the Role

Tottenham appointed Carlos Raphael Moersen as director of football operations earlier this year, and he will absorb parts of Rogers’ responsibilities as part of his wider remit. However, Moersen is not being positioned as a direct replacement. The club is expected to hire someone to take on the majority of Rogers’ duties, with the search for that person now set to begin.

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the news that Amy James Turner, Luana Buhler, Charlotte Grant and Josefine Rybrink will leave the club this summer.

The Lilywhites confirmed the departures via an official club press release on Tuesday afternoon which brings an end to their time in North London.

Defender James Turner is the longest-serving of those players who are departing, having spent the last four seasons with Spurs. Buhler has also been with the club for a considerable period, while Grant and Rybrink have largely contributed to the team within the last couple of campaigns.

Top Half Table Finish Expected

The quintet are likely to leave Spurs in an excellent position with The Lilywhites set to seal a top-half of the table finish in the Barclays Women’s Super League. Tottenham have really caught the eye this season under the guidance of new boss Martin Ho which is absolutely brilliant progress.

The club have exceeded expectations in Ho’s first campaign at the helm. His tactical approach and man management skills have helped Spurs compete consistently against the division’s stronger sides throughout the season which demonstrates the strides being made.

Managing Director Thanks Players

After the departures were announced Tottenham Hotspur Women’s Managing Director Andy Rogers said: “Amy, Luana, Charli and Josefine have each provided a fantastic service to Tottenham Hotspur, they have been valued members of our group. We thank them for their contributions to the Club and wish them the best for the future,” which is frankly a classy statement.

The quintet join forward Kit Graham in leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer. The club will now turn their attention to recruitment as they look to strengthen the squad ahead of next season with several positions needing to be filled following the confirmed exits.
