Washington Freedom made their first addition to the roster this offseason when the team announced today it has signed Norwegian forward Lene Mykjaland.
The former Roa IL forward has signed after being a post discovery player last season. She didn't make the move last time but this time she has decided to take the plunge.
The 22 year old is looking to join the Freedom after Roa's Champions League Quarter-Final tie against German team Turbine Potsdam in March 2010. She will be the second Norwegian player to sign to the WPS for this upcoming season after FC Gold Pride signed Solveig Guldbrandsen 2 weeks ago.
Mykaland has recently received a championship winners medal with Roa IL after winning the Toppserien(Norwegian league ) for 2009.She scored 21 goals this season to be top of the goalscoring charts.
“To live and play soccer in the U.S has always been a dream for me.” Mykjåland said. “It's the best league with the best players in the world and to get that opportunity to play on that level, and to play professionally, is amazing.”
