The Orlando Pride have added help in the attack with the signing today of English forward Jodie Taylor. You may recall that the Pride acquired Taylor’s NWSL rights from the North Carolina Courage on Feb. 4 in exchange for defender Carson Pickett. Taylor is signed through the remainder of the 2021 season.
Taylor, 35, joins the Pride from French giants Olympique Lyonnais, where she spent the 2020-21 season. With Lyon, Taylor appeared in six league matches, scoring one goal, and competed in the 2020 UEFA Women’s Champions League final, helping her team to a 3-1 win over German side VfL Wolfsburg.
