Mônica Announces She Won’t Return to Orlando Pride in 2019

Orlando Pride and Brazilian international defender Mônica took to Instagram today to announce her departure from the club prior to the start of the 2019 season. The 31-year-old, who has been with the Pride for all three seasons and made 53 appearances in purple (52 regular season and one playoff match), was one of seven players offered a contract option at the end of last season. The remaining 13 players of the 20-strong squad had either already seen their contract picked up or were federation allocated players.

It took me a little while to write this to you all because I did not know how to say bye to my purple family.
