Nahomi Kawasumi Re-Signs With Seattle

The Vlatko Andonovski Era of the Seattle Reign FC is officially under way now that the new Reign FC head coach has completed his first roster move, and it’s a no-brainer.

The club announced today that Japanese international forward Nahomi Kawasumi re-signed with the team for the 2018 season. As per usual NWSL policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

A day removed from the new, if not weird NWSL landscape, Reign FC fans should be excited with Naho’s return to the club. Kawasumi became a fan favorite when she joined the club in 2014 on loan from INAC Kobe Leonessa as part of a legendary Reign FC squad that ran roughshod through the league on which she tallied nine goals, five assists, and a spot on the NWSL Best XI that season.
