Hayley Raso departs Portland Thorns to sign with Everton

Error 0:

The Portland Thorns will head into the 2020 National Women’s Soccer League season without one of its most talented forwards.

Raso, the club announced Wednesday, has left the club. A press release from Raso’s agency issued last week said that the Australian forward has signed a six-month contract with Everton of England’s WSL. Everton confirmed the signing, but did not specify details of its contract with Raso in its announcement.

The Thorns will retain Raso’s NWSL rights, should she decide to rejoin the league.

“I will be forever grateful to the Portland Thorns for taking a chance on me and allowing me to represent this amazing club for the last four years,” Raso said in a statement from the Thorns.
