Five years is a relatively illustrious and storied career in the National Women’s Soccer League. It’s an unfortunate truth that in its earlier seasons many found it difficult to maintain a spot on one of the few team’s rosters. And yet, after five years Brittany Ratcliffe is still here, entering into a new chapter of her career that has her at the forefront of the attacking side for Utah Royals FC.
Ratcliffe began her professional career in 2016 after being selected No. 17 overall in the NWSL College Draft, as a product of the University of Virginia with 25 goals to her name many expected a high offensive production.
