FC Kansas City announced this week that they have loaned midfielder Christina Gibbons to Melbourne Victory of Australia’s W-League.
Gibbons was selected by FC Kansas City in the first round of the 2017 National Women’s Soccer League Draft.
Traditionally a defender, Gibbons made the switch to midfield in the middle of the season for Head Coach Vlatko Andonovski. Mostly in a defensive mid role, but sometimes attacking, Gibbons helped the Blues turn around a poor start.
“I'm really excited to be joining Melbourne Victory this off-season. Everyone has already been extremely welcoming and I'm eager to get over there, get lots of game experience, and explore the culture,” said Gibbons via press release.
