Gotham FC has made a major splash in the free agency market, signing two of the most talented players in the NWSL. Rose Lavelle and Emily Sonnett, both of OL Reign, have agreed to join Gotham FC for the 2021 season.
Rose Lavelle is a World Cup champion and one of the most decorated players in the NWSL. She was named the 2017 NWSL Rookie of the Year and has been a regular on the US Women’s National Team since 2017. Lavelle is a dynamic midfielder who can create chances and score goals. She has an impressive passing range and is capable of playing both centrally and out wide.
Emily Sonnett is an experienced defender who has been a key part of the OL Reign defense for the past two seasons. She is a strong, physical defender who is excellent in the air and can read the game well. Sonnett also has the ability to play out from the back, making her a valuable asset for Gotham FC.
The signing of Lavelle and Sonnett is a major coup for Gotham FC and will undoubtedly bolster their squad for the 2021 season. Both players bring a wealth of experience and quality to the team and will be key contributors to their success. With Lavelle and Sonnett in the squad, Gotham FC will be a force to be reckoned with in the NWSL this season.
