The Portland Thorns announced today that the club signed forward Janine Beckie to a three-year contract. The move was first reported yesterday by Meg Linehan of The Athletic.
The Thorns acquired Beckie’s rights from Racing Louisville FC in exchange for $75,000 in allocation money. Louisville is also able to receive up to $25,000 depending on Beckie’s play throughout the 2022 season. Following the trade for Beckie’s rights with Lousiville, the Thorns completed the transfer with Machester City, Beckie’s now former club, via allocation money. She will join the team in Portland and be added to the roster as soon as she receives her International Transfer Certificate.
