“My husband and I are expecting our second child,” Ward said. “Although a little unexpected, we’re very excited.”

The former Watford, Arsenal, Chelsea and Reading striker added on social media: “This is not the end of my football career. I fully intend to pick up where I’ve left off in the winter.

“I want to prove myself again at the highest level and will do all I can to put myself in the best condition possible to come back and play again at both club and internatio­nal level.”

After the 2017 Spring Series - a transition­al competitio­n designed to ease the WSL’s move from a summer to a winter calendar - Yeovil will play in WSL 1 again from September.

Ward was part of the Wales squad that finished sixth in the Cyprus Cup earlier in March, netting in their group-stage win over Hungary. When the then-Reading striker had her first child, she began the 2015 season on maternity leave before helping the Royals win the WSL 2 title later that term.
