After Suing League, Olivia Moultrie Signs With Portland To Become Youngest NWSL Player Ever
Olivia Moultrie is finally, officially, a professional footballer — and the youngest NWSL player ever too.
Moultrie, 15, moved to Portland at the age of 13 from California to begin training with the Portland Thorns of the NWSL, which had a strict age requirement of 18. After suing the National Women’s Soccer League over age restrictions, she’s been given a chance to sign a professional contract with the Thorns, agreeing to a three-year deal, the max allowable in NWSL.
