Overview
- Boston announced a contract through 2029 for the 29-year-old goalkeeper, with some outlets reporting a mutual option for 2030, and a source told ESPN the deal is worth $1.5 million guaranteed.
- Murphy joins as a free agent from the North Carolina Courage, where she became the club’s all-time regular-season wins leader and played every minute of the 2024 campaign.
- The signing lifts Boston’s roster to 13 players, leaving the club below the NWSL minimum of 22 as it continues building for its first season.
- The Legacy open March 14, 2026 at Gillette Stadium, and the NWSL plans a 30-game regular season with a June 1–28 break tied to venue availability during the men’s World Cup.
- Murphy said she looks forward to helping build the club’s culture and engaging with the community, and general manager Domè Guasch called her a true leader for the inaugural roster.
