Erica Parkinson and North Carolina Courage
This week
England prospect Erica Parkinson has signed for North Carolina Courage on a contract through 2029, with a club option for 2030. The 18-year-old midfielder joins the two-time NWSL champions after her first senior England call-up.
Parkinson chose England despite eligibility for multiple countries and has built her career largely outside the English spotlight. Courage officials praised her technical quality, forward passing and mentality as they secured a long-term development signing.
