Gaetane Thiney is leaving Gotham FC to return to Paris FC after being on loan for the NWSL season.
In a post on Instagram, Thiney thanked Gotham FC for welcoming her.
“You brought me much more than I could have imagined,” she wrote. “I admire your ability to take responsibility, to engage, to be individuals, to be determined, and to reach the next level without ever complaining.”
She also thanked her teammates for their patience in putting up with her “second degree” and “strong French accent.”
“It wasn’t always easy, was it Carli Lloyd?” she wrote.
Thiney appeared in nine games for Gotham FC, scoring two goals after she joined the team in June.
