American international Sam Coffey signs for Man City

On Wednesday, Sam Coffey left Portland Thorns FC after three years to join Manchester City Women.
Sam Coffey sought the chance to play in Europe, and Portland Thorns FC agreed to support her ambitions while Manchester City Women pursued midfield reinforcements before finalizing the deal.
A USWNT regular, Sam Coffey earned 42 caps with five goals, was a three-time NWSL Best XI pick, and led Portland Thorns FC in minutes over 25 starts.
Losing Coffey halts momentum built last month when Sophia Wilson exercised her contract option, affecting Portland Thorns FC's plans with the preseason starting Feb. 15.
Manchester City, six points clear atop the Women's Super League, paid a reported $875,000 transfer fee to strengthen their midfield for a title push, coach Andree Jeglertz said.
