Kansas City Current Secures Star Midfielder Croix Bethune in Record-Setting Deal
The NWSL preseason is heating up with another big move as Kansas City Current secures midfielder Croix Bethune from Washington Spirit. Sources reveal that Washington Spirit will receive a record-matching fee for Bethune, making this a significant deal in the league. Bethune, who had a successful two-year tenure with Washington Spirit, was named the 2024 NWSL Rookie of the Year and has made a mark with her impressive playmaking abilities.
Bethune's transfer to Kansas City Current comes after she expressed her desire for a trade, and her former club worked to finalize the deal. Known for her vision and elegant passing, Bethune is set to fill the void left by the departure of Bia Zaneratto, a key playmaker and goal scorer for the team. Despite facing challenges like a torn meniscus and multiple ACL injuries in college, Bethune has proven her resilience and talent on the field.
Having earned accolades in college and making a name for herself in the NWSL, Bethune's addition to Kansas City Current adds depth and skill to the team's midfield. Her experience with the U.S. women's national team and her recent preseason preparations with Washington Spirit highlight her readiness to make an impact in the upcoming NWSL season. With Bethune's arrival, Kansas City Current aims to build on their success and compete at the highest level in the league.
