Defoe expressed his pride in the work undertaken during his time at the club and his gratitude to the supporters and players.
What happened?
Defoe's departure comes after a series of high-profile romances, including a recent lunch date with Nadine Rider.

Why it matters for Woking
Defoe's departure marks the end of an eye-opening managerial experience for the former Premier League star. He leaves the club with great pride in what he and his team were building. Woking FC's next fixture is against Solihull Moors on February 17, 2027, where they currently sit 17th in the table.
What comes next?
The club will now look to appoint a new manager to lead them through the remainder of the season.
