NJ/NY Gotham FC have kicked off their roster rebuild ahead of the 2023 season.
The team has re-signed forward and defender Taylor Smith, extending her contract through the 2025 campaign.
“Taylor Smith is a versatile, dynamic and high-skilled player in the prime of her career who was a welcome addition to our club this season,” said Gotham FC GM and Head of Soccer Operations Yael Averbuch.
“As we look to build our roster for 2023 and beyond, the re-signing of Taylor was a crucial step. We are thrilled that she has committed long-term to Gotham FC.”
The team first acquired her through waivers in June 2022, propelling the player to two goals and one assist in 18 appearances.
“From the first day I arrived this summer, I’ve enjoyed every second of being a part of Gotham FC,” said Smith.
“I feel valued here and cannot wait to continue to make a positive impact. I wholeheartedly believe we will build off our last performance and make everyone proud next year. The team, the fans, the city and community are second to none, and I feel so honored to be able to call this home the next three years.”
Over the course of her career, Smith has won an NWSL championship, the NWSL Challenge Cup, the SheBelieves Cup as a member of the U.S. National Team, and an NCAA championship with UCLA.
