Today, the Seattle Reign have signed the winningest head coach in NWSL history to a multi-year contract extension. The club announced that head coach Laura Harvey has signed a three-year extension through
2028.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and trust the club has placed in me,” said Harvey. “The progress we made in 2025 speaks to the work our players and staff put in every day. Our priority is continuing to grow our talent pool, playing with a clear identity and putting a product on the field that reflects who we are as a club and as a city.”
Harvey was the club’s first-ever head coach (second stint) and entering her 11th season (13 total seasons) with the Seattle Reign. She was the first to reach 100 wins, holds the record with 113 victories, and has been named NWSL Coach of the Year three times (2014, 2015, 2021).
“Laura (Harvey) sets the competitive standard for our entire program,” said General Manager Lesle Gallimore. “She elevates players with intention and leads with clarity and consistency. This extension allows us to continue building with confidence, knowing we have one of the most respected and accomplished coaches in the world guiding our sporting vision.”
Laura’s leadership has shaped this club from its beginning,” said Seattle Reign FC Chief Business Officer Maya Mendoza-Exstrom. “That foundation, rooted in a culture of competing and winning with high standards, is important. As we step fully into the next era of our club, securing Laura’s leadership is about momentum, not just continuity. Alongside Lesle, this extension reflects our shared ambition and long-term vision for this club, a belief in what is possible over the next several years and a commitment not only to continue winning, but also to lead a new generation of women’s soccer globally.”
