The Chicago Red Stars have signed U.S. team forward Mallory Swanson to a historic four-year contract with an option for a fifth year, a record for the National Women's Soccer League.
Swanson, who was a free agent this season, has been with the Red Stars since 2021.
Swanson returns to a Red Stars team that looks vastly different.
Chicago Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts bought the Red Stars last September and the team hired Lorne Donaldson, coach of the Jamaican national team at the World Cup.
"The Red Stars could not be more excited that Mallory Swanson has decided to extend her career with us here in Chicago,” Red Stars President Karen Leetzow said.
