Seattle Reign defender Ryanne Brown signs contract extension through 2027 NWSL season

Today, the Seattle Reign have announced that defender Ryanne Brown has signed a contract extension through the 2027 season.

She was selected with the 21st overall pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft. And recently, she made her return from a torn ACL and meniscus after missing the 2025 season.

“Ryanne has shown tremendous resilience over the last two years,” said Seattle Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore. “Her commitment throughout her rehabilitation and the way she has embraced every challenge speaks to the type of person and teammate she is. Seeing her back on the field and contributing was a special moment for everyone who has been part of her journey. We’re pleased to continue that journey together here in Seattle.” 

“This club has meant so much to me over the last few years, especially throughout my recovery,” said Brown. “From my teammates and coaches to our medical and performance staff, everyone supported me and believed in me every step of the way. Returning to the field with this group has been incredibly special, and I’m so grateful for the trust this club has shown in me. I’m excited to continue representing Seattle and can’t wait for what’s ahead.”
