Newcastle United Women have signed two-time World Cup winner Morgan Gautrat on loan from Orlando Pride until the end of December 2025.
Morgan has 88 caps for the United States, lifting the World Cup in 2015 and 2019, while in 2024 helping the Pride win the NWSL Shield and Championship.
She has also appeared for Kansas City Current, Chicago Red Stars and Olympique Lyonnais, the latter with whom she won the French title.
Morgan told newcastleunited.com: “It’s been a warm welcome, and I feel like I’ve been welcomed with open arms, and people have told me nothing but nice things about the city and the fans.
“I’m at a point in my career where I want to be a leader and want to be a part of making a mark and a legacy at a place like this at Newcastle to make history.”
Manager Becky Langley said: “We are absolutely delighted to be adding a player of Morgan’s quality and experience to our squad.
“She has performed at the highest level for her whole career and brings with her a world class mentality having won some of the biggest trophies in the game for both club and country.
“Morgan is a leader, and she will bring so much on and off the pitch for us. We are excited to start working with her.”
