The Utah Royals FC may look exactly the same as it did last season — at least in terms of personnel.
The club announced Monday that it has offered new contacts to 10 of its players. It also exercised the contact options of an additional 11 players, while five remain on the roster.
U.S. Women’s National Team players Becky Sauerbrunn, Christen Press and Kelley O’Hara will remain on the Royals roster for next season, as will Canada’s Desiree Scott and Diana Matheson. Whether those players will remain with their respective national teams remains to be seen.
The club picked up the options of the following players: Vero Boquete, Rachel Corsie, Mandy Laddish, Melissa Lowder, Michelle Maemone, Madeline Nolf, Sydney Miramontez, Brittany Ratcliffe, Amy Rodriguez, Abby Smith, Raisa Strom-Okimoto and Gaby Vincent.
