RENTON, WASH. – Seattle Reign FC announced today that goalkeeper Maddie Prohaska has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping her with the club through the 2026 NWSL season.

The 22-year-old joined the Reign ahead of the 2025 campaign as a non-roster invitee and signed her first professional contract on March 6. Her extension reflects the club’s confidence in her development and long-term potential.

Club Leadership Praises Prohaska’s Growth

“Maddie has worked extremely hard to earn her place among our goalkeeper corps,” said Seattle Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore. “She’s shown she can compete at this level and is deeply committed to her growth and development. We’re thrilled to have her back with us for 2026.”

First Appearance & International Friendly Impact

Prohaska made her first appearance for the Reign in an international friendly against Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds on July 20 at Lumen Field, helping secure a 2–1 victory.

“I’m really grateful to continue my time at the Reign,” said Prohaska. “I’m in an environment that’s helping me grow my game in new ways and giving me an opportunity to learn from the best. Even more so, the relationships I’ve built have helped me find a home in Seattle — and I’m so happy to call it home for a bit longer.”

Collegiate Career at Auburn University

Prohaska was Seattle’s third college signing during the league’s first offseason without the NWSL Draft. At Auburn University, she built a standout resume:

  • 96 career starts
  • 36 shutouts – Auburn’s all-time record
  • 0.93 goals-against average – 2nd in program history
  • 291 saves – 6th all-time
  • .768 save percentage – 7th all-time
  • 12 shutouts in 2024 – tied single-season record

She started all 21 matches in her senior season, anchoring Auburn’s defense and earning All-SEC honors.
