Orlando Pride have announced that living women's football legend Marta has agreed a new contract to extend her stay in NWSL, keeping the Brazilian icon at the club for the 2020 season at least.
Marta will turn 34 before the new campaign begins next year, but the veteran is still widely revered as one of the best players in the world. During the summer she extended her own all-time World Cup goals record and won Best FIFA Women’s Player as recently as 2018.
Pride have not disclosed the length or terms of the contract, but head coach Marc Skinner has described the news as ‘wonderful for the club and fans'.
