Today, Angel City FC have announced that their star rookie forward, Riley Tiernan has signed a contract extension through the 2028 season. Originally her contract was through 2026 with a club option for 2027.
“I am so beyond excited to be staying in LA!,” said Tiernan. “I cannot express how thankful I am for the warm welcome I received from everyone as a rookie. I am so grateful to continue to learn, grow, and improve as a player here at this amazing club. Not only that, but getting to do it in front of the most incredible and supportive fans of all time. I know we all want that championship soon and of course the Jersey in me has to throw this quote in there….hungry dogs run faster!.”
She took the league by storm after starting the 2025 season as a non-roster invitee and earning her roster spot after her preseason performances, including with the team at the Coachella Valley Invitational. The forward ended up with NWSL Rookie of the Year and US Soccer Young Player of the Year nominations.
“Riley had a fantastic start to her professional career in 2025, and we are so thrilled that she has extended her contract with Angel City,” said ACFC Sporting Director Mark Parsons. “We believe this is just the beginning for Riley and I’m excited for Alex and our technical staff to continue supporting and challenging Riley to new heights.”
Internationally, Riley Tiernan is knocking on the door with the USWNT. She has earned multiple call-ups with the United States U-23 National Team. Her bright future could see her on the senior team soon as well.
