Rookie defender Ivy Younce has agreed to a contract extension through the end of the 2026 with the North Carolina Courage, the club announced today.
“Ivy has earned this opportunity through her consistency and commitment to getting better every day. She is a tremendous teammate, a fierce competitor, and someone who represents our club in the right way. We’re excited to see her continue to grow,” said Courage Chief Soccer Officer Ceri Bowley.
Younce, who arrived at the club as a non-roster invitee, signed to a short-term contract through June. Since then, she has made four substitute appearances through the first 11 matches of the season, helping the Courage secure three wins in those four matches.
“I feel incredibly blessed to continue my journey with the North Carolina Courage. This season has already taught me so much, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to keep learning and growing with such an amazing group of players and staff. I’m excited for what’s ahead and eager to continue giving my all for this club,” Younce said.
