Racing Louisville FC and midfielder Linda Motlhalo have agreed to a mutual contract termination, the club announced Friday, as Motlhalo pursues other playing opportunities.

The 26-year-old South African international joined Racing last spring and went on to make three appearances for the club across all competitions, including a start in The Women's Cup third place match against Chile's Colo-Colo.

"We thank Linda for everything she has given to Racing Louisville on and off the pitch," said coach Bev Yanez. "We wish her all the best in the next steps of her career!"

A fixture for South Africa's national team, Motlhalo broke through with the senior team as a 17-year-old. She has played in two FIFA Women's World Cups and a Summer Olympics in addition to winning the the Africa Women Cup of Nations in 2022.

About Racing Louisville FC: A 2021 expansion addition to the National Women's Soccer League, Racing Louisville remains a young club in what's arguably the world's toughest women's soccer circuit. Racing both rosters and routinely faces up against national team talents as a result. The club calls home Lynn Family Stadium - opened in 2020 in Louisville's Butchertown neighborhood - and operates daily out of the nearby Lynn Family Sports Vision & Training Center, sharing the facility with the USL Championship side Louisville City FC.
