Allie Long is heading back home.
The Long Island native is joining her hometown club NJ/NY Gotham FC — formerly known as Sky Blue FC — following a trade on Tuesday. Long will join Gotham in exchange for $80,000 in allocation money, Gotham’s second-round pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft, and a swap of spots in the NWSL Discovery Priority list. OL Reign now hold the top spot in that list, which determines priority if two or more teams want to make a discovery claim on a player not currently in the league.
