Chicago Red Stars and USWNT star Morgan Brian has signed with European powerhouse Olympique Lyonnais, per an announcement from French club yesterday.
The deal spans two and a half years and expires in June, 2020, taking her well through the current World Cup cycle.
The Red Stars have yet to comment publicly on the deal.
Brian had a long and weird 2017 season. The midfielder was hampered by injuries, limiting her appearances for club and country. Despite those setbacks, Brian was able to generate buzz and excitement every time she stepped on the pitch.
