After just one season on the roster, USWNT star Crystal Dunn has mutually parted ways with Gotham FC, the NWSL team announced on Tuesday.
Gotham originally added the 32-year-old free agent on a multi-year contract in December 2023. Dunn was a part of a wave of high-profile signings that included fellow USWNT standouts Rose Lavelle, Emily Sonnett, and Tierna Davidson.
The decorated utility player eventually made a total 23 appearances across all competitions for NJ/NY. However, Dunn hasn’t suited up for Gotham since late September.
“I can’t even find the words to express how incredibly sad I am,” Dunn, who grew up on Long Island, posted to Instagram on Tuesday. “Though my journey continues elsewhere, I am at least grateful to have played at home in front of my friends and family for even a short while. I’ll carry those memories with me always…. The city of New York will forever be my home, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.”
“As I turn the page and prepare for a new chapter, I am filled with excitement for what lies ahead,” she added.
