Orlando Pride Head Coach lost another presumed starter today — at least for a few months — as Canadian international center back Shelina Zadorsky has opted to sign a deal to stay with Tottenham Hotspur of the WSL in England until the end of the 2020-2021 season.
Tottenham’s post calls Zadorsky’s stint with Spurs a “loan” but she is a Canadian national team player who was allocated to the Pride by her federation, which means she can’t be loaned by an NWSL team in the traditional sense. Zadorsky, like U.S. internationals playing in the WSL, had signed a short-term deal to play for Spurs through the end of 2020 and her new deal extends her stay until the end of the current WSL campaign.
