Alex Morgan joined the NWSL in 2013, the league’s inaugural season, playing for the Portland Thorns FC. She then played for the Orlando Pride between 2016 and 2020, before wrapping up her club career with the San Diego Wave FC.
Recently, Morgan announced that she was returning to the Wave, this time as a minority investor. In an official announcement, the soccer star said,
“San Diego is where I’ve built my home, where I am raising my children, and found a purpose beyond my playing career. I believed in Wave FC before a single match was played, and I still believe this Club has the power to change the future of women’s sports. I’m proud to invest in that future and not just as a player, but now as an investor.”
In her debut season with the Wave, Morgan led the team to the playoffs, where they reached the semifinals. That same year, the American’s scoring tally won her the NWSL Golden Boot.
