Orlando Pride Midfielder Emily van Egmond Staying at West Ham through Season

West Ham United announced today the team’s “permanent signing” of midfielder Emily van Egmond through the end of the 2020-2021 WSL season. The Australian international has been on loan from the Orlando Pride since August but the length of West Ham’s deal with van Egmond leaves room for her to return to the Pride early in the 2021 NWSL season, as the Pride will retain her league rights. She follows Shelina Zadorsky as Pride players to extend their WSL seasons through the end of the current campaign after the center back extended her stay at Tottenham yesterday.
