Lynn Williams Traded to Seattle Reign FC

The Seattle Reign FC has officially acquired Lynn Williams, the NWSL's all-time leading goal scorer, and goalkeeper Cassie Miller from Gotham FC in a significant trade. In exchange, Gotham receives midfielder Jaelin Howell, a 2025 international roster spot, and $70,000 in allocation money. Williams, a four-time NWSL Champion and former MVP, expressed excitement about joining the Reign, aiming to challenge herself and build connections in her new environment. Her arrival is seen as a crucial boost for a Reign team that struggled offensively last season, finishing second to last in the league. Alongside Williams, Miller adds depth to the Reign's goalkeeper position, enhancing their defensive lineup. This trade marks a strategic move for both teams, with Gotham looking to bolster its midfield while Williams fulfills her desire to finish her career on the West Coast.
