Raquel “Rocky” Rodríguez has signed a three-year extension to remain with the Portland Thorns through the 2025 season, the team announced today.
The Costa Rica international was drafted out of Penn State University by Sky Blue in 2016 as the #2 overall pick. She made an immediate impact and was awarded the 2016 NWSL Rookie of the Year award. In her four seasons (76 appearances) with Sky Blue, she had eight goals and five assists.
After the 2019 season, Portland acquired her via trade. The Thorns sent forward Midge Purce and a first round pick to Sky Blue for the international up-and-comer.
