The recent Orlando City signing of Facundo Torres got me wondering about the Orlando Pride. Prior to Wednesday’s signing of Mikayla Cluff, it had been a minute since we had any news regarding a new player for Orlando’s NWSL side. Indeed it’s been mostly the opposite with the departures of Ashlyn Harris, Ali Krieger, Alex Morgan, Emily van Egmond, and Taylor Kornieck.
We did get the welcome news that the Pride added soccer legend Michelle Akers to the staff as an assistant coach. Akers will be responsible for player development.
