ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 8, 2020) - Orlando Pride has acquired U.S Women’s National Team defender Emily Sonnett, the rights to Australian forward Caitlin Foord and two picks in the 2020 NWSL College Draft (No. 7 and No. 14 overall) from Portland Thorns FC. In return, the Thorns have received the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2020 College Draft from Orlando.
“Acquiring not only one, but two players with the domestic and international resumes of Emily and Caitlin, plus additional draft picks for 2020, puts the Club in a strong position to continue building for both short and long-term success,” Orlando Pride GM Erik Ustruck said.
