ORLANDO, Fla. (October 27, 2016) - With the team’s first year under its belt, four Orlando Pride players will head to overseas clubs as they continue to prepare for the 2017 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season. Australian international Laura Alleway and Brazilian Monica have been loaned to clubs in Australia’s Westfield W-League, while defender Steph Catley and midfielder Maddy Evans have both signed with W-League sides.
The four players join forward Jasmyne Spencer, who signed with W-League side Canberra United on Oct. 18.
The Australian defensive duo of Catley and Alleway will return to Melbourne City FC, where the pair will look to lead the second-year club to back-to-back W-League Championships.
