As the start of the NWSL season nears, the Washington Spirit continued their signings and announced the extension of Dorian Bailey.
Bailey’s re-signing keeps the Spirit’s midfield core together, as well as offering stability for the roster. Having played 50+ matches and totaled over 3,800 minutes played with the Spirit, the 3-year extension will keep her with the club until 2026, replacing her previous contract which contained a recently-exercised 2023 team option.
Bailey, the former University of North Carolina Tarheel, has been with the Spirit since being drafted eighth overall in 2019.
