Women’s first-team head coach Dario Vidosic said, “I’d like to thank Vicky - both personally and on behalf of the team - for her unwavering dedication to this club over the past two seasons.
“Although we only shared one season here, she played a huge role in helping me settle into the job and was a constant source of support and guidance.
“As a player, her accolades speak for themselves. She’s a commanding presence on the pitch, and her wealth of experience is clear for all to see.
“As a person, she truly embodies what it means to be a captain and a leader - respected and admired by both players and staff, on and off the pitch.
“She epitomises the values we stand for as a club and has been fully committed to driving us forward in our ambition to establish ourselves as a top four WSL side. Her contribution to our historic season last year was nothing short of pivotal, and that achievement will always be a proud part of our legacy.
“We wish her nothing but success in the next steps of her journey and will always be thankful for everything she gave to the club.”

Losada joined Albion from AS Roma and was one of the first signings during the 2023 summer transfer window.
Her first goal in a Brighton shirt came in the Women’s FA Cup fourth round against Luton Town where she headed home in the 39th minute giving Albion a 2-0 lead in their 6-0 victory.
Upon her arrival on the south coast, she also became an ambassador for the Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation. In recognition of her continued commitment to community projects, she was named the club’s PFA Community Champion for the 2024/25 season.
