Amandine Henry’s career in the National Women’s Soccer League has taken a surprise twist on Saturday.

“Her professional accomplishments speak for themselves, but her personality and leadership qualities will be invaluable as we continue to shape our identity here in Utah.” said sporting director Kelly Cousins.

“We are excited to welcome such a decorated athlete to our club and look forward to seeing her on the pitch in Royal colors.”

During her time in Europe, Henry won 13 Division 1 Féminine titles and seven UEFA Champions League victories with Lyon.
