One of the budding stars of the United States Women's National Team has found a new home. Jaedyn Shaw is on her way to the North Carolina Courage from San Diego Wave FC, elevating the club's attacking ceiling.

U.S. national team midfielder Jaedyn Shaw has been acquired by the North Carolina Courage in a trade with the San Diego Wave.

The trade that brought Jaedyn Shaw to North Carolina wasn't cheap: The Courage paid $300,000 in allocation money, an international slot for 2025 and 2026, plus transfer fees that could total $225,000. All told, the deal could exceed $600,000-a price that shows just how confident the club is in the impact Shaw can have on the field.
