  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Jaedyn Shaw is the newest addition to an already star-studded Gotham FC side after securing a $1.25 million move to the two-time NWSL Champions, the club announced Thursday. It marks the highest intra-league transfer in NWSL history.

  Shaw is expected to sign an "updated and extended contract" as part of the deal.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Shaw, 20, is one of the most decorated young players in American soccer. She worked her way into the San Diego Wave first team as a teenager, and helped the Southern California side to the NWSL Shield and NWSL Challenge Cup in 2023.

  The attacking midfielder was also a member of the USWNT team that secured a Gold Medal at the Paris Olympics last summer – giving Gotham four players of that team. 

• WHAT SHAW SAID

  Shaw outlined her excitement in joining Gotham in a club statement: "I’m so excited to be a part of this incredible club and community. I’m looking forward to playing alongside world class players and giving my all to help the team win another championship."
