Washington Spirit forward Trinity Rodman, who had been linked with a move to Chelsea, has signed a new record-breaking contract for three years.
The deal is reportedly worth an average of over $1 million annually, with bonuses possibly seeing that exceed $2 million per season.
The 23-year-old NWSL champion and 2024 Olympic gold medallist has around 50 caps for the USA and has made about 100 appearances for the Spirit, averaging roughly a goal every three games.
Rodman told washingtonspirit.com: “I knew this was where I wanted to enter the next chapter of my career. I’m proud of what we’ve built since my rookie season, and I’m excited about where this club is headed. We’re chasing championships and raising the standard, and I can’t wait to keep doing that with my teammates and the best fans in the NWSL.”
Michele Kang, owner of the Washington Spirit, said: “Trinity is a generational player, but more importantly, she represents the future of this club and the future of women’s soccer. This agreement reflects our belief that elite talent deserves elite commitment. At the Spirit, we are building something enduring: a club that competes for championships every year, invests in excellence and creates an environment where world-class players can thrive long-term. Trinity choosing to continue her career in Washington is a powerful statement about what we are building here.”
