Former FC Gold Pride captain Leslie Osborne has made the move to the east coast to the Boston Breakers. Osborne who was a free agent at the end of the 2009 WPS season agreed terms with the Breakers and joins her former Pride teamate Tiffany Weimer.
Osborne started in 18 of the club’s 20 matches and lead the team with 1,622 minutes of playing time. Her iron-woman performance marked a successful return from a torn ACL and ankle injury suffered during United States National Team training in May 2008, which caused Osborne to miss the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"Leslie Osborne is a proven midfielder who has a wonderful soccer pedigree and a track record of success,” said Boston Breakers Head Coach Tony DiCicco. “She is talented, tough and a team leader, all qualities that will make the Breakers better. I am looking forward to coaching her and introducing her to our Breaker fans."
“I am tremendously excited to play for the Boston Breakers,” said Osborne. “Boston has a special place in my heart and I am ready to give everything I have to this great organization. This is a great opportunity to learn from such an experienced coach like Coach DiCicco and to play alongside some of the best players in the world. Being in the same city as our sponsor Puma is only another positive for me. I cannot wait to arrive in Boston and begin to prepare for the 2010 WPS season.”
