"Contributing significantly to Washington Spirit's run to the NWSL final, Rodman has still suffered an injury-hit campaign, and could do very little as Gotham FC emerged victorious in this weekend's final in San Jose. A sold-out crowd of 18,000 packed into the PayPal Park to watch the two teams, with Rose Lavelle scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win."
"But it is Rodman - who ranks in FourFourTwo's list of the 10 best right-wingers in women's football - that continues to cause the biggest stir, with her future still hanging in the balance. Runners-up Washington Spirit are unable to offer a deal that matches USL side DC Power, with the California-born forward now at a crossroads as she decides her next step."
Trinity Rodman, 23, faces the end of her Washington Spirit contract while recovering from an injury-hit season and after a 1-0 NWSL final defeat to Gotham FC. European clubs are reportedly interested and DC Power of the USL can reportedly offer a higher salary than Spirit because the NWSL enforces a salary cap. The Spirit cannot financially match competing offers under the cap, placing Rodman at a career crossroads. Losing Rodman would represent a significant blow to the league and women's football in the United States. League commissioner Jessica Berman is attempting to resolve the situation and retain Rodman in the NWSL.
