WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia has announced she will leave the WWE when her contract expires later this year.

The WWE recently sent out a casting call looking for a new female ring announcer, prompting speculation Garcia was to quit.

The rumours were denied at the time, but Garcia has now confirmed her future lies outside the squared-circle.

"It is with a heavy heart that I have made this decision because WWE has been my family from day one and you, the WWE Universe have always been incredible to me," she said.

"I am getting married later this year and have decided to enter into a new phase of my life but I will truly miss all of you and the WWE tremendously.

"The truth of the matter is that they are looking for someone new because I have given them my notice that I will be leaving at the end of my contract this year."
