WPS rumour mill was in full force today with news that US Women's national team midfielder and Chicago Red Stars star Carli Lloyd is on her way to New Jersey Sky Blue FC.
It looks like it was true.
The Delran native, who opted for free agency Sept. 30, agreed to terms with WPS champion Sky Blue FC Monday. She will not only be returning to her home state, but will be playing her home games on the same field where she earned All-America honors during her years at Rutgers University.
Lloyd was one of a number of high-profile players who chose to become free agents.
Lloyd, 27, started 14 games for the Red Stars last season and collected two goals and one assist.
Chicago, however, finished sixth in the seven-team league with a 5-10-5 record and failed to make the playoffs. The Red Stars finished six points behind Sky Blue for the fourth and final playoff berth. Sky Blue went on to upset the top three seeds — all on the road — in a surprising run to win the league championship.
