“It is never easy saying goodbye to the thing that motivates you to jump out of bed every morning, so at this time we are all thinking of Lauren and thanking her from the bottom of our hearts for her effort over the years and are wishing her great success for all her future endeavours.”
The Wanderers would like to thank Lauren for her contribution to the club and wish her all the best in the future.
