The Orlando Pride acquired forward Darian Jenkins on Jan. 11 from the Kansas City Current in exchange for the club’s natural second-round selection in the 2023 NWSL Draft and $75,000 in Allocation Money. The move made a lot of sense, as the Pride looked to get younger and faster in the attack as compared to 2021 and Jenkins had some familiarity playing with then-coach Amanda Cromwell. Jenkins had scored 29 career goals while at UCLA, but had bounced around the NWSL after being selected No. 7 overall in 2017 by North Carolina.
