Brighton & Hove Albion’s Women’s Super League team will be undergoing a transition as captain Vicky Losada has officially departed following the conclusion of her contract.
Losada, age 34, joined the Seagulls from AS Roma in July 2023. Over the span of her tenure, she made a total of 47 appearances across all competitions, becoming a key player for the club.
Manager Dario Vidosic praised Losada’s leadership, stating that she “truly embodies what it means to be a captain and a leader.” He expressed gratitude for her unwavering commitment, saying, “I’d like to thank Vicky – both personally and on behalf of the team – for her unwavering dedication to this club over the past two seasons.” He added that their collaboration, although limited to one season, significantly aided his adjustment to the managerial role, describing her as a constant source of support and guidance.
Losada’s substantial experience in women’s football includes stints at Manchester City and Arsenal, as well as a victorious campaign in the UEFA Women’s Champions League with FC Barcelona in the 2020-21 season.
Vidosic articulated the impact of her presence both on and off the field: “As a player, her accolades speak for themselves. She’s a commanding presence on the pitch and her wealth of experience is clear for all to see.” He further remarked on her contribution to the club’s ambitions: “She epitomises the values we stand for as a club and has been fully committed to driving us forward in our ambition to establish ourselves as a top-four WSL side. Her contribution to our historic season last year was nothing short of pivotal, and that achievement will always be a proud part of our legacy.”
