Orlando Pride Sign Australian International Forward Lisa De Vanna

The Orlando Pride have announced the signing of Australian national team forward and captain Lisa De Vanna, pending receipt of her P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC). De Vanna is an accomplished attacking player who has previously played under Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni with Australia from 2005-2012.

The Pride have struggled to score goals this season, with just 15 through their first 18 games, but the 31-year-old De Vanna should be able to help in that department. With 40 goals in her 117 international caps with Australia, she ranks second all-time in goals scored for the Matildas and third in caps, and playing alongside Alex Morgan shouldn’t hurt her at all, either.
