OL Reign continue to build out their roster ahead of the 2022 preseason and had two significant signings to announce on Wednesday afternoon. Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle both re-signed with OL Reign, with Rapinoe signing a one-year deal and Lavelle agreeing to a two-year deal that runs through the 2023 season.
Rapinoe and Lavelle were previously U.S. Women’s National Team allocated players, which meant U.S. Soccer paid for their salaries in the NWSL and allocated them to teams. The allocation system has been eliminated for the 2022 season, requiring teams to sign USWNT players directly.
