The Orlando Pride rounded out their attacking front line with the addition of English forward Jodie Taylor, who signed with the team Thursday.
The team previously acquired Taylor’s NWSL rights in a February trade with the North Carolina Courage in exchange for long-time defender Carson Pickett. The 35-year-old forward signed a short contract through the 2021 season without an option for extension.
An experienced striker who previously represented the England national team, Taylor most recently played a season with Olympique Lyonnais in the French Division 1 Féminine.
“Jodie is a proven goalscorer and has carried that across every club and every league she’s played for and in, and the value of her experience and professionalism is immeasurable,” general manager Ian Fleming said.
