Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod said she was thrilled to get a chance to close out her career with the Orlando Pride.
McLeod, a 37-year-old veteran who signed a one-year deal to back up Pride captain Ashlyn Harris, trained for the first time at the Pride’s facility in Seminole County on Monday.
“It was awesome,” she said. “I couldn’t sleep last night, I was so excited. I think it’s been really wonderful being here. The training facilities are incredible.”
After the conclusion of the 2015 NWSL season, McLeod moved to the Swedish Damallsvenskan to play for FC Rosengård, along with Marta and new Pride defender Ali Riley.
