The Seattle Reign signed defender Ryanne Brown to a contract extension for the 2025 season on Tuesday.

Brown played in 10 matches (four starts) this season before undergoing surgery for a torn ACL in August.

Drafted 21st overall in 2022 by the Reign out of Wake Forest, she was due to become a free agent this offseason.

"In true Ryanne Brown fashion, she has worked extremely hard to rehabilitate her knee, and we are looking forward to the day she is back on the pitch for Reign FC," general manager Lesle Gallimore said. "Ryanne has shown in her time with the club that she can be an integral part of our success and we're here to support her through this journey."

Brown, 25, has made 28 appearances across all competitions since joining Seattle.

"Although this has been one of my most challenging years as a soccer player, the support I've received from my family, teammates, the staff and our supporters have kept me motivated throughout this entire journey," Brown said. "I'm truly blessed to have all of you behind me and can't wait to get back on the field soon."
