After a bit of a false start last week when Olympique Lyonnais tweeted, then deleted, the move, the Washington Spirit have now made it official! Inès Jaurena will head from France to Washington, DC to join the Spirit ahead of the 2023 season.

In 2021/22 Jaurena started 21 matches, appearing in 24 overall, for Lyon in the league and Champions League. That season she played all around the midfield, from left, right and central midfield, to defensive and attacking midfield as well. This season she made four starts and five appearances, at both right back and center back.
