Five-time champion returns to America from Chelsea
Sam Kerr has taken the next step in her career. The Australian striker has officially signed with Gotham FC, committing to the NWSL club through 2030. Kerr joins from Chelsea, where she enjoyed a hugely successful period, claiming five Women's Super League titles.
Reunion with familiar surroundings
For Kerr, the move to Gotham FC is no leap into the unknown. The Australian international played in New York previously and describes the club as a defining factor in her career. Her return to the reigning NWSL champions is therefore charged with ambition, both from the player herself and from the club.
