Arsenal Women have announced that Tobin Heath has left the club by mutual consent.
The USA international signed a one-year contract with Jonas Eidevall's side for the 2021-22 season but has failed to nail down a regular starting role this term.
Heath also recently sustained a season-ending hamstring injury, and the 33-year-old is now set to return to her native USA to focus on her rehabilitation after being released from her Gunners contract early.
"Although I'm disappointed that my time at Arsenal has come to an early end, I have loved every minute of my time here," Heath told arsenal.com.
"I would like to thank everyone at the club who has made me feel so welcome. Arsenal is a special club and this is a special group of players. I have no doubt that they are bound for success in the near future and I'll be supporting the team with the rest of the Arsenal family from now on.
Head coach Eidevall added: "It's been a pleasure to work with Tobin this season. She has made an important contribution both on and off the pitch, with her mentality and character setting a great example to the entire group. We wish Tobin well for the future and look forward to seeing what comes next for her."
Heath leaves Arsenal having made 18 appearances for the club in the 2021-22 season, scoring three goals and setting up three more in that time.
