Today, the Kansas City Current announced that defender Laney Rouse has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season with a club option for 2029. She was originally on a one-year contract after her collegiate career at the University of Virginia.
“I’m extremely happy to be able to continue my career with the Kansas City Current,” said Rouse. “I’m excited to keep competing with a club that’s competitive, ambitious and always pushing for more. The mentality here, from the players to the staff, motivates you to improve every day and strive to be your best. It’s an honor to represent this club, and I will keep giving my all to this team and community.”
The defender made her professional and NWSL debut versus Seattle Reign on March 25. She has made four appearance, including three starts.
“Laney has made an immediate impact on our club over these past few months with her positive attitude and unrelenting work ethic,” said general manager Ryan Dell. “She has bought into our system from day one. Her desire to learn and grow does not go unnoticed and she has already made great strides in her development. Laney’s future is bright, and we’re thrilled she will continue to call Kansas City home.”
