She had initially joined in August 2013, first as a development centre coach and then Girls Regional Football Development Co-ordinator.

Yesterday Davies tweeted: “My time at Swansea City has come to an end. I have shared great experiences with some great people, amazing players and wonderful parents.

“I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me over the five years. I’m now looking forward to new opportunities and the future. Thank you all.”

As we reported in March, Davies was one of just six female coaches working in male Academy football. She said: “If you have variety in your coaching staff you cater for all the kids in a different way."
