Records are meant to be broken.
And Ally Sentnor just shattered one.
The Hanson native, who played at Thayer Academy, recently transferred from the Utah Royals to the Kansas City Current for a record-breaking intra-league transfer fee of $600,000 guaranteed money.
The 21-year-old was the first overall pick in the 2024 NWSL draft by Utah, where she scored five goals as a rookie and started every game this season.
“Thank you to the Royals for drafting this small-town girl and giving me the opportunity to start a lifelong dream of playing professional soccer,” Sentnor said in a statement. “Thank you for the opportunities and experiences on and off the field.”
KC is excited about the acquisition.
“Ally is a dynamic player who’s tenacious on both sides of the ball and will be yet another threat on our roster,” Kansas City head coach Vlatko Andonovski said in a statement. “She’s a fun and exciting player to watch. Ally has continued to elevate her game year after year, and we’re eager for her to make her mark in Kansas City. She demonstrates the mentality we’re striving for and will be an excellent culture fit.”
Sentnor, a member of the United States Women’s National Team, has already notched four goals in just 12 matches for the Americans.
