The Seattle Reign signed forward Jordyn Huitema to a new contract through the 2026 season, the NWSL club announced Thursday.

The deal includes a mutual option for 2027 for Huitema, who would have become a free agent after this season.

Huitema, 23, has recorded nine goals and three assists in 41 regular season matches with the Reign since 2022.

"Jordyn extending with the club is wonderful news and we are committed to investing in her development so that she achieves both for club and country at an elite level," Reign general manager Lesle Gallimore said. "Jordyn is young in her career, and her ceiling is high and in ways untapped. We know Jordyn is committed to doing what it takes to become one of the premier goal-scorers in the NWSL and to lead Seattle Reign FC to championships."

Huitema has two goals and one assist this season. The British Columbia native previously played in France with Paris Saint-Germain (2019-22) and in Canada with TSS FC Rovers (2018).

"Ever since I first signed with the team, this city has felt like home," Huitema said. "We have some of the most passionate and supportive fans in Seattle. It's truly an honor to play for the Reign and represent all of you. I'm excited to continue contributing towards this club's future success as much as possible."
