Puskas award nominee Stephanie Roche has signed a two-year deal with Houston Dash, of the National Women’s Soccer League – the highest level of football in America.
Roche has been a free agent since leaving French side ASPTT Albi but has been one of the women’s game’s most high profile figure in recent months thank to her goal for Peamount United that saw her finish second to James Rodriquez in FIFA’s annual goal of the year contest.
“I am so excited about the signing of Stephanie, we are getting a player that has great technical ability, a superb left foot, and possibly the best goalscorer to come out of Ireland since Olivia O’Toole,” Dash head coach Randy Waldrum said. “Stephanie will bring a wealth of international experience to our team, and another great attacking option that is different from what we have already. All our Dash fans and fans of women’s soccer in general will be excited about this signing.”
