Waived by Portland, Mallory Weber finding a home with Utah Royals FC

Sandy • At the beginning of the month, Malloy Weber lived in Portland. She had built a life and a home there with her dog, Meeko, and played for the Thorns for the past three years — the entirety of her National Women’s Soccer League career.

Then in one moment, her life changed in an instant. The Thorns waived Weber and it would be an excruciating 48 hours until she knew where her career would take her next, if anywhere at all.

“It’s just something that comes out of nowhere without much explanation,” Weber recently told The Salt Lake Tribune.
