ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 30, 2021) — Heading into the 2021 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) preseason, Orlando Pride has acquired midfielder Gunnhildur “Gunny” Jónsdóttir and the rights to midfielder Erika Tymrak from Kansas City. In exchange, the new NWSL club will receive forward Kristen Edmonds and the Pride’s natural second round selection in the 2022 NWSL Draft.
“We're extremely pleased to add Gunny to our squad. Her experience, both within this league and at the international level, paired with her skill and versatility will add a dimension to how we play. Her ability will not only bring the best out of her, but will raise our level of play as a team,” Orlando Pride General Manager Ian Fleming said.
