HARRISON, NJ – NJ/NY Gotham FC today announced that the club has traded midfielder Victoria Pickett to the North Carolina Courage in exchange for $200,000 in allocation money.
“Although my time here was short, I loved being a part of the Gotham FC family,” said Pickett.
“First, I want to say a special thanks to my teammates for embracing, supporting, and believing in me. I’m forever appreciative of them and lucky to have learned from these special players,” she continued. “I also want to thank Yael Averbuch West, the coaching staff, the medical team, and the entire soccer operations team for supporting me in my playing career and for the way this move was handled by the club.
