National Women’s Super League side Orlando Pride have announced the signing of Barbra Banda. Banda joins the Florida-based side on a four-year deal worth a record US$740,000. Subsequently, Banda becomes the second most expensive female footballer after Rachel Kundananji who joined Bay FC recently.
“Barbra Banda brings a new level of technical skill, physicality and pace to our attack and she is an exciting and entertaining addition to our roster,” said Orlando Pride owner and Chairman Mark Wilf. “We thank Shanghai Shengli FC and their leadership for partnering with us to bring Barbra to Orlando and to the National Women’s Soccer League. Our fans have much to look forward to as we prepare to kick off the regular season!”
