SAN DIEGO - San Diego Wave FC announced today that the Club has signed defender Nya Harrison to a new one-year contract through the 2026 season.

Since joining the Wave and signing her first professional contract, Nya has shown growth in her game and continued to develop through her rookie season," said Sporting Director and General Manager Camille Ashton. "We're excited to keep working with her and look forward to her continued progression with the Wave."

Harrison, a San Diego native, made her professional debut during the 2025 NWSL regular season, appearing in one match during her rookie campaign, while being a part of the the Wave's Championship run at the inaugural North American World Sevens Tournament.
