Sky Blue FC announced on Monday, May 2 that it had signed New Zealand Women’s National Team (NZWNT) goalkeeper Erin Nayler to its roster.
Although the team officially announced Nayler’s signing with the team, the signing is still pending the receipt of her P-1 Visa and her International Transfer Certificate.
"We are delighted to finalize this deal with Erin Naylor," Sky Blue FC Head Coach Christy Holly said in a statement. "Bringing Erin to New Jersey is something we have been trying to get done for quite some time."
Although SBFC has two goalkeepers already on its current roster, both come to the New Jersey-based club team with little or no professional experience, putting SBFC at a disadvantage compared to other teams in the league.
