When Alex Morgan trained at Hotspur Way with the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) in June 2019, ahead of winning her second consecutive FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, few would have envisaged the striker would be returning over a year later to sign for Spurs Women in one of the biggest transfers in our Club history.
The Barclays FA Women’s Super League (WSL) has seen several high-profile signings this summer but the news of Alex’s deadline day transfer to the Club, one of the most decorated players in the women's game, is a signing that will be spoken about for years to come.
Alex, a new mum with a four-month-old baby girl called Charlie, hasn’t played a competitive game of football in over a year and is yearning to get back on the pitch and return to the form that saw her win some of the highest honors in football with two World Cup accolades, an Olympic gold medal, and a UEFA Women’s Champions League prize.
“Everything happened really fast,” said Alex who returned to Hotspur Way as a Spurs Women player 10 days ago. “I was spending time in Orlando with my team in the NWSL (National Women's Soccer League) and it just hit me that I needed consistent games and consistent training for an entire season, at least for the remainder of the year.
