Overview

  • Gotham confirmed the $1.25 million transfer from North Carolina as its first seven-figure deal, with payments spread over installments.
  • The fee is the highest for a move between NWSL clubs and surpasses last month’s $600,000 intraleague record for Ally Sentnor.
  • The club said it is working on an updated, extended contract for Shaw, with ESPN reporting the term could run through 2029.
  • Head coach Juan Carlos Amorós called Shaw a "special" player and expects to use her as an attack-minded midfielder within Gotham’s fluid setup.
  • Shaw, 20, joins after three goals and one assist in 19 Courage matches and recent USWNT omissions, with a possible debut as soon as Friday in San Diego left undecided.
