Another USWNT player in the FA Women's National League
Alex Morgan will undoubtedly be the biggest signing in the FA Women's National League and probably, one of the best players to have ever played in the league. However, the English female top tier has seen the addition of another American female soccer player.
In August, it was announced that 27-year-old midfielder Sam Mewis joined Manchester City from North Carolina Courage.
