OL Reign Re-Signs Forward Megan Rapinoe to One-Year Deal

OL Reign has re-signed forward Megan Rapinoe to a one-year deal, the club announced today. Per league and club policy, the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Megan joined our club in 2013 already a world-class talent, and over the last decade has done the work on and off the field to transform herself into a global icon who now transcends the sport,” said OL Reign CEO Bill Predmore. “Beyond the direct impact her talent and creativity bring to the team, her confidence and swagger is infectious—it makes every player around her better. Megan demands the best from herself and from every person in the organization, pushing us all to a higher level. We are excited to see her on the pitch at Lumen Field this season.”

Rapinoe is one of three Reign originals from the club’s inaugural season in 2013. She played in 12 games during the 2021 season. Rapinoe stepped up in important moments for the team, scoring six goals and adding three assists last season. She was the only player to score in each one of OL Reign’s games against the Portland Thorns. She netted an impressive pair of braces this season, both in the month of August.

The OL Reign and U.S. Women’s National Team Legend spent part of the summer in Tokyo, where she was an integral part of U.S. team that secured a bronze medal at the 2020 Olympic Games. Rapinoe is a veteran member of the U.S. Women’s National Team, having played 187 games for the team. She has accumulated 62 goals and notched 71 assists.

Megan has played in almost 90 regular season matches for the Reign, totaling more than 6,500 minutes of playing time ranking fourth in all time minutes played for the Reign. She has scored a club high of 40 regular season goals and three playoff goals.
