The Washington Spirit continued their busy offseason, signing 2021 NWSL Golden Boot winner Ashley Hatch to a contract extension. Additionally, the Spirit announced that mid-season additions Taylor Aylmer and Morgan Goff, whose previous deals ran through the end of this season, had signed new deals to keep them at the club.
Hatch, 26, is coming off of a career year. Her 10 regular season goals were a professional high, and she capped off her successful year with an extra time game-winner against North Carolina in the quarterfinals. Since coming to Washington, Hatch has lead the team in goalscoring in each of their traditional NWSL regular seasons, with her strike rate increasing each year.
