North Carolina Courage acquire Canadian Victoria Pickett in trade with Gotham FC

The North Carolina Courage have acquired Canadian international midfielder Victoria Pickett from NJ/NY Gotham FC in exchange for $200,000 US in allocation money.

The 26-year-old from Barrie, Ont., was drafted in the second round (15th overall) by the Kansas City Current in the 2021 NWSL draft and was a finalist for rookie of the year.

Pickett scored the winning goal in the new Kansas City franchise's first-ever NWSL victory, 1-0 victory over OL Reign in August 2021. She was traded to Gotham in August 2022 for $200,000 allocation money and a first-round draft pick.

Thanks to everyone at GothamFC for making memories that will last forever in such a short period of time
