Seattle Reign FC defender Shae Holmes signed a contract extension with the team through the 2026 season.

The 24-year-old would have become a free agent after the 2024 season.

A 2023 NWSL Draft pick (19th overall), she has played in 23 games (14 starts) with the franchise.

"Over the past two seasons, Shae has demonstrated remarkable consistency across our backline, showcasing her reliability on both sides of the ball," Reign general manager Lesle Gallimore said. "Her team-first mentality and versatility are invaluable assets to our squad, and her contributions positively impact both the club and our community. We are excited to see her continued growth and future success here at Reign."

Holmes, from Colorado, played collegiately in Seattle at Washington.

"I'm grateful to sign a contract extension and continue my soccer journey in Seattle for two more years," Holmes said. "It's a privilege to represent this city and play for our fans."
