Sam Kerr, a prominent Australian footballer, has joined Gotham FC through a free transfer, according to multiple reports. This move comes after her contract with Chelsea expired.
Kerr is making a return to the Gotham franchise, having previously played for them when they were known as Sky Blue FC between 2015 and 2017. In her earlier NWSL tenure, she netted 28 goals over 40 appearances. Her successful period with Chelsea saw her score 116 goals in 158 matches, contributing to five league titles and multiple cup victories.
