One of the top free agents in the NWSL is no longer available.
Midfielder, Taylor Flint was one of the top names available, and just made her decision.
Today, Racing Louisville announced that they have re-signed their midfield star and ace to a new contract through 2028.
“Re-signing with Racing felt like the right decision on every level. I’m proud of the soccer I’m playing, I believe in this team, and I want to be part of what we’re building,” Flint said. “Over the last few years, my husband and I have
made a life here — the way the city embraced us, the people we’ve met, the support we’ve felt — it all made this feel like home. That made the choice easy.”
The club is off to their best ever start to a campaign - currently seventh in the table with 20 points.
Flint’s has already matched her career-high in goals with three, respectively. The best part? There’s still half of the season remaining.
She is playing her best football of her career and been downright dominant. Flint is near the top of the league in many statistics including: first interceptions and aerial duels, second in tackles and tackles won, sixth in blocks and seventh in dribblers tackled.
“We’re confident we’ve built an environment where players not only want to be but can also thrive,” Racing general manager Caitlyn Flores Milby said. “Taylor is playing the best soccer of her career here, and we’re proud to have been part of her growth. We’re thrilled she’s chosen to remain in Louisville, with this signing a major step toward establishing a winning foundation for years to come.”
After being traded from the San Diego Wave in January 2024 for $150,000 in allocation money, Flint has turned into one of the cornerstone players for Racing Louisville.
“Taylor has been a pivotal part of our team for the past two seasons. Her work ethic and professionalism have been so influential to the groups success,” Racing head coach Bev Yanez said. “It was a priority for us to re-sign her and we are so grateful she will be back in lavender.”
Internationally, she has earned 12 caps for the USWNT, tallying two goals. Expect her to receive another call-up very soon from Emma Hayes.
Taylor Flint is the first big piece to make a decision in NWSL Free Agency, who will be next?
