Natasha Kai coming back to the league shows you can go home again.
What do Carli Lloyd, Christie Rampone, Heather O’Reilly, Hope Solo, Nicole Barnhart, Tobin Heath and Natasha Kai have in common?
All of them won an Olympic gold in 2008, and all of them will be suiting up eight years later for the 2016 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season.
For seven of them this was not in doubt, but before announcing her return to Sky Blue FC, Kai had been out of club play since she last suited up for the Philadelphia Independence in 2011.
