Today, Angel City FC and Casey Phair have announced a three-year contract extension through 2028.
“Casey is a special young talent, with an exciting future ahead and we are very happy to extend her contract until 2028,” said ACFC Sporting Director Mark Parsons. “Casey has grown a lot this season and we now feel it is the perfect time to go and get important game minutes on loan to further develop as a professional. We look forward to having Casey return for the start of next season and having her back
in our environment for many years to come.”
The 18-year old forward has made six appearances for ACFC and earned 109 minutes. She became the second youngest player in club history to make an NWSL regular season debut at 17 and 10 months.
Internationally, Phair has scored four goals in 14 caps for the South Korea Women’s National Team. She became the youngest player to make a World Cup debut at the 2023 FIFA World Cup.
Phair was born in South Korea before she moved to Exeter, New Hampshire with her parents. Later, they would move to Warren Township, New Jersey where she started training with Players Development Academy (PDA) and playing at Pingry School. She would also be the first Korean-American to receive a call-up to the South Korea Women’s National Team.
It was also announced that she will be loaned to Djurgårdens IF in Sweden for six months until December 2025.
