Bay FC announced today the acquisition of Racing Club de Avellaneda forward Agostina Holzheier. The Argentine international has signed a four-year contract through 2029 with an option for an additional year. Her addition to the roster is pending her P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate.
“I’m very happy and
proud to join Bay FC,” said Holzheier. “This is an exciting opportunity to take the next step in my career, challenge myself in a new league and represent a club with big ambitions. I’m coming with a lot of energy, ready to work, learn from my teammates and the staff, and give everything for this team and its supporters. I can’t wait to get to the Bay Area and begin this new chapter.”
