In one of the first roster moves under the Kansas City Current’s restructured organization — featuring new head coach Chris Armas — the club has traded away an international attacker.
The defending NWSL Shield winners have traded veteran forward Nichelle Prince and an international roster spot to expansion club Boston Legacy FC, the Current announced Tuesday in a news release.
Kansas City gets $125,000 in allocation funds and $50,000 in intra-league transfer funds in return.
The fleet-footed Canadian international tallied three goals and three assists in her two seasons with the club since being traded over from the Houston Dash before the 2024 season. Prince collected a goal and an assist in 21 regular-season games in 2025 and started in the NWSL quarterfinals.
Prince’s departure continues the Current’s reshuffling of attacking depth following the departure of dynamic striker Bia Zaneratto and winger Alex Pfeiffer. The club does return league MVP Temwa Chawinga, as well as Debinha, Michelle Cooper and Vanessa DiBernardo.
