Seattle Reign FC announced today that they have retained the services of Australian international goalkeeper Lydia Williams for the 2018 NWSL season. Williams is currently on loan to Melbourne City FC of the Australian W-League and will return to Seattle at the start of next season.
Williams was a late addition to Reign FC in 2017, coming in a surprising trade with the Houston Dash at the end of August. She appeared in three games for Seattle, earning 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss. She also played eight matches for Houston in 2017 before being sidelined by injury and replaced by U.
