On Monday, January 20th, the Orlando Pride published their preseason roster, joining the Kansas City Current, Seattle Reign, and Utah Royals, which all released their initial preseason rosters last Wednesday.
In addition to its signed players, the Pride have also invited three non-rostered players, who have all played at least four seasons of collegiate soccer:
- DeAira Jackson, a goalkeeper who played for Grand Canyon University and Cal State Fullerton
- Simone Jackson, a forward who played for the USC Trojans and was on the USA’s squad for the 2022 FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup
- Aryssa Mahrt, a midfielder who played for Wisconsin and San Diego State
The below roster is presented in a similar format to December’s end-of-season roster lists.
The lists for each club are organized as follows:
- Currently Signed: All players signed to a contract (for at least part of 2025) but not presently loaned to another club.
- Out on Loan: Signed players that have current loan agreements.
- Non-Roster Invitees: Players invited to train with the club, but are not formally signed with the club.
For invitees, links to their NCAA player profiles, if applicable, are provided. For those invitees that are still in high school, if their official or verbal commit is known, that is provided, along with a source link.
Parenthetical Key:
- INT = The player occupies an International Spot
- LOAN = The player is on loan from another club
- SEI = The player is currently designated by the club as being on its Season-Ending Injury/Illness List
- SEI2024 = In cases where a team’s press release did not specify SEI players, this denotes players who were on the SEI List at the end of the 2024 season (primary source)
- U18 = The player was signed under the U18 Entry Mechanism and will not turn 18 before the start of the 2025 season (Friday, March 14th).
