Daily News | Haverford’s Sinead Farrelly signs with Gotham FC two years after sparking NWSL abuse scandal
. That 2015 season with the Thorns was Farrelly’s last on the field. She signed with the Boston Breakers for 2016 but never played for them because she was in a major car crash.
“I want to be a key player for Gotham FC, while also having grace and compassion with myself as I acclimate back into the professional environment,” Farrelly said. “There were times when this did not feel possible for me. But I have made it to this moment, and I’m going to keep building on it. As I continue, I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams, no matter how far out of reach they may seem.
Gotham general manager Yael Averbuch West played against Farrelly in WPS and the NWSL. The process of bringing Farrelly back to the field hasn’t been easy, but now it’s a success story. “Sinead is not only an outstanding athlete, but one of the most admired people in our sport,” West said. “She came into camp and earned a contract with her outstanding play. I know she sees this as just a first step, but everyone at Gotham FC is incredibly proud to be part of Sinead’s journey, and excited about all of the great qualities to brings to our team.”
