The 2017 signings continue with the re-signing of veteran Boston Breakers defender Julie King.
“Julie was a key player for us last year, and it was important that we kept her for 2017,” said head coach Matt Beard via team press release.
King was one of two players who had run out of contract and was offered a new one after 2016. The Breakers’ first re-signing for 2017 was midfielder Stephanie Verdoia.
King is a pretty good piece for the Breakers back line; she’s best pushed out wide and moving up the field as both provider and target, but can shift inside to center back as needed.
