Seattle Reign FC News Release
TACOMA, Wash. - OL Reign midfielder Jess Fishlock has joined FA Women's Super League side Reading FC on loan, the club announced today. Fishlock will return to OL Reign prior to the start of the 2021 NWSL season.
Reading FC Women won promotion to the English top flight in 2015 and have finished fifth in each of the last two seasons. The club is helmed by former captain Kelly Chambers, who took over manager duties after Jayne Ludlow departed in 2014 to lead the Wales women's national team.
Fishlock made two appearances for OL Reign at the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup, marking her return to play after suffering a season ending ACL tear during the 2019 season.
"I'm extremely thankful for OL Reign to allow me the chance to go home for a few months and continue my return to play with Reading FC," said Fishlock. "I appreciate their understanding and I am excited to return for the 2021 NWSL Season."
