Gotham FC announced today that the club has signed free agent Sam Kerr to a four-and-a-half-year deal through the 2030 NWSL season. The signing marks a return to her former club for Kerr, who played for its former iteration Sky Blue FC from 2015 to 2017. Kerr will be joining Gotham in July, pending international transfer certificate clearance.
“I’m incredibly excited to return to Gotham FC and to this city,” said Kerr. “This club was an important part of my journey, and to come back at this moment,
with everything Gotham has built, is really special. The ambition here is clear, and I’m looking forward to helping this team compete for trophies and create more history.”
“Sam is one of the defining players of her generation and a game-changing talent who has consistently delivered at the highest levels of world football,” said Yael Averbuch West, the president of soccer operations for Gotham FC. “Her winning mentality, relentless competitiveness and ability to decide matches in an instant make her one of the most impactful players in the game. Bringing Sam back to Gotham is a landmark moment for our club, and we couldn’t be more excited.”
