Exciting move for one of our brightest talents. Shame we won't see her in the Aleagues as much, but hopefully another step in a promising career.
Ela Perez to take her mantle, or maybe Whinham to continue to develop as she did at the end of last season.
Exciting for the A League and NZF to have two young players now in the MLS.

I really hope this story leads the news this evening - it really is a great story.
Name me one other female professional in NZ that a team has paid 6 figures for??

First of many, hopefully!
Best of luck Macey. Sorry to lose you.

League record apparently.
Newshub were at the press conference and even asked a question on behalf of One news. I hope that it leads but a Warrior or Rugby player stubbing a toe may be more important 🙄

Good luck Macey. 👏
Selfishly would have liked to see her with us for another season, but that's a great move, and a nice return on investment for the Nix too.
FYI - $USD35K is about $NZD60K. I'm guessing being a Football Fern international, she won't be on the bare minimum - that's more likely the girls straight out of college.
Being a pro athlete she's likely not wasting money on alcohol, like most of us were at age 21. But even less of that vice temptation in Salt Lake City!

Under the NWSL CBA, minimum pay increased by approximately 60% from $22,000 in 2021 to $35,000 in 2022.

Wonder if Katie Bowen told Rodriguez about Fraser?
