Orlando Pride midfielder Jade Moore isn’t afraid of a challenge. In fact, it’s the reason she’s moving to Orlando this season.
Moore’s decision to sign with the Pride this year marks the first time she’s played outside of an English league. It was a move she’d been eyeing during the past few seasons.
But this year, everything lined up. Her contract with Reading was expiring when coach Marc Skinner originally pitched that she join his squad during his second year in the NWSL.
For Moore, the most appealing aspect of signing with the Pride was the idea of joining a group hungry to redefine itself after a frustrating 2019 season.
