""I started my career here and I've always said I'd like to come back. Leicester is my hometown," said Williams. "I feel like I still have a lot to offer the club and the opportunity to come back is something I've been looking forward to doing.""
""Rachel is one of the unique footballers - an icon for our club," said Skinner. "I got a lot of grief when we brought her in but she has carved out a historic position for herself with the 'Ole Gunnar Solskjaer' super-sub role. "I can't speak of her highly enough. We wish her the very best for the rest of her career. It was with a heavy heart we allowed her to go but it was the right move.""
Rachel Williams signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Leicester City, with a club option to extend for a further year.
