Portland Thorns Goalkeeper Morgan Messner Signs Extension

Portland Thorns goalkeeper Morgan Messner has agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2028, keeping her with the club through the 2028 season.

Thorns President and General Manager Jeff Agoos praised the goalkeeper's development since arriving in 2025 as a non-roster invitee. Agoos noted that Messner stepped up when presented with the opportunity to lead the backline, helping the team start the season strong with a clean sheet in the season opener—a feat only achieved twice in club history at home. syntagm.co.za
