After obtaining her rights in a November trade with the Washington Spirit, Seattle Reign FC has signed goalkeeper Madalyn Schiffel for the 2017 NWSL season.
Schiffel, who has participated in U-20 and U-23 women’s national team camps, most recently spent the 2016 season playing with Avaldsnes IL in the Norwegian Toppserien, helping the club finish second on the league table. Avaldsnes won 18 of their 22 matches and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.
On Wednesday, the 22-year-old Schiffel was one of 30 players called up for the U-23 Women’s National Team January camp.
“I am excited for many reasons to have signed with the Reign,” said Schiffel.
