The Houston Dash signed American defender Claire Falknor, pending receipt of her International Transfer Certificate, the club announced today.
The 23-year-old spent 2016 in Germany with Bayern Munich in the Frauen-Bundesliga where she scored two goals in nine appearances. She won the league title with the Bavarian club and reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champion’s League.
“Claire brings a playing style that fits nicely with the way we play here in Houston. She’s very skillful, with the ability to play anywhere across the back line,” head coach Randy Waldrum said. “She has a high soccer IQ, and will adapt quickly to our way of playing.
