While other players may be looking for loan spells in Australia and abroad to keep in shape during the excruciatingly long NWSL offseason, Seattle Reign FC’s Naho Kawasumi will be keeping busy in Japan this fall. Seattle Reign FC confirmed today that Naho was loaned out to INAC Kobe for the remainder of the Nadeshiko League season.
Reporter Jeff Kassouf shared the news on Twitter this morning, and Naho confirmed via a blog post on her website. A club source told Sounder at Heart that Naho remains under contract with Seattle Reign FC and is expected to return for 2017.
