Another week, another world-class player joining OL Reign for the 2021 season.
OL Reign today announced that U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder Rose Lavelle will immediately join OL Reign as a U.S. allocated player. While initial rumors had indicated she’d be joining the Reign after the Olympics, the Reign confirmed Lavelle will start training with the club on May 26 and is expected to be available for selection in the next home match against the Washington Spirit on May 30.
“We believe Rose has the ability to be the best player in the world. She is an extraordinary talent that is the perfect fit for our long-term vision for the team,” said OL Reign CEO Bill Predmore. “From the moment the trade became a possibility last year we have been focused on finding a way to bring her to the club. We are thrilled to add her to the squad and believe she can play a key role in our efforts to compete for a championship this season.”
