The Orlando Pride's final roster spot has been filled by Brazilian-American midfielder Leah Fortune.
Fortune is a dual citizen -- born to American parents in São Paolo, Brazil and raised in Chicago -- so will not occupy an international roster spot.
Orlando Pride coach Tom Sermanni said Fortune impressed him with her versatility when she practiced with the team as a trialist during the National Women's Soccer League preseason.
“She came into preseason well-prepared, and her work ethic and professionalism have been evident from day one,” Sermanni said in a statement released by the club. “With her ability to play effectively at numerous positions, Leah is going to add even greater flexibility to our squad.
