Sam Kerr has some unfinished business in the National Women’s Soccer League. After six and a half seasons with WSL’s Chelsea, the decorated Australian striker, who still holds the NWSL record for all-time regular season goals, is back with Gotham FC.
“Ever since I left the NWSL there was always a desire to come back and play here—I didn’t win a whole lot on a team level,” Kerr says in an exclusive interview with Sports Illustrated. “With everything I’d achieved at Chelsea and the change that was going on there, it felt like it was the right time. There wasn’t really anywhere else I saw myself [at this point in my career] other than the NWSL.”
