After joining the North Carolina Courage in 2024, German international Feli Rauch has played a pivotal role all over the field. And now, she has decided to extend her contract with the club for two more years.
The news was celebrated since she has been covering multiple positions in the field, going from defender to midfielder or being an attacking threat. So far, the German has amassed 2,564 minutes, scoring three goals, and adding one assist in 35 appearances while in 2025 she has registered two
goals, one assist and 10 chances.
Her decision to stay is noteworthy since she was set to become a free agent at the end of the current season.
“Keeping Feli here long term was a priority for us, and we are pleased she has chosen to continue her professional journey here. She is a smart, tenacious player who suits our club in physical ability and cultural mindset. Her leadership and versatility make her an important part of where we are headed as a club, and she will be a key to our future success,” said Courage Sporting Director and Chief Soccer Officer Ceri Bowley.
Having finished week 17, the Courage is ninth in the table, sharing the same number of points as Gotham but they’re one spot below the teams qualifying for the playoffs. No doubt, Rauch will play a pivotal role in the team trying to get above that line.
