The Serbian midfielder signed for the club ahead of the 2022/23 season and leaves the Blues as a winner of two WSL titles and an FA Cup.

After joining Chelsea from Swedish side FC Rosengard, Cankovic grew in confidence as she became accustomed to life in London. In her first season, she made 22 appearances across all competitions and scored four goals – all of which came in the WSL.

She rounded off her debut campaign with the domestic double, claiming the league title and the FA Cup following our victory over Manchester United in the final at Wembley.

Her second season saw her lift the league trophy once again as the Blues secured a fifth consecutive WSL title.

She made 16 appearances in all competitions with a standout display coming in the UEFA Women’s Champions League when she registered two assists in a 4-0 victory over Paris FC, which helped Chelsea reach the knockout stages as group winners.

On the international stage, Cankovic arrived at Chelsea as an already-established presence in her national team and has continued to feature regularly for Serbia during her time as a Blue.

Everyone at Chelsea would like to thank Jelena for her contributions to our success over the last two years and wish her every success for the future.
