The Washington Spirit have acquired U.S. national team right-back Kelley O’Hara from the Utah Royals, the clubs announced on Wednesday.

In exchange for O'Hara, Utah will receive $75,000 in allocation money as well as a first-round pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft, should certain performance stipulations be met.

O'Hara, who joins after spending three seasons with the Royals, had reportedly requested the move because she lives in the Washington area.
