Just a day after announcing that Toni Pressley is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, the Orlando Pride filled the roster slot by adding veteran defender Julie King. The former Boston Breakers defender will join the team immediately, and the Pride announced that she will be available for Saturday’s match against the Houston Dash. Per team and league policies, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We are excited to have Julie join us, as she is both an experienced player and knows the NWSL very well,” Orlando Pride General Manager Erik Ustruck said.
