Portland Thorns defender Sam Hiatt has signed a new contract extension through 2027, the club announced today.
“Sam is a strong leader whose experience has been extremely valuable on and off the pitch for our roster, and she has played a key role in the success we have seen over the last two seasons,” President and General Manager of Soccer Operations Jeff Agoos said. “We are excited to extend her time in Portland, and we look forward to her continued impact and leadership as we prepare to compete
for an NWSL Championship.”
She was named team captain ahead of the 2026 NWSL season. Previously, Hiatt joined as a free agent ahead of the 2025 season.
