After a seven game stretch with one win, one draw, five losses and just two goals scored, the North Carolina Courage and their supporters needed good news. Thankfully the team indulged in a bit of self-care and secured the signing of Australia’s star winger Cortnee Vine, who will join the team when the NWSL summer transfer window opens August 1.
Unleash the VINE 🌿
We have signed Australian National Team player Cortnee Vine to a three-year contract!
The forward has been named to Australia's Olympic team, won three premierships & two Grand Finals with Sydney FC, and scored 30 goals in 65 games with the Sky Blues.

Vine is a fast and fun winger who authored Australia’s second most iconic moment at the 2023 World Cup, coolly scoring a penalty that gave them a shootout win over France. After the tournament many expected Vine to ride the wave of becoming a household name to snag a bag and continue her career elsewhere. She didn’t, and instead stayed at Sydney FC in Australia’s A-League Women, the league where she made her pro debut at 16.
A bag deferred is not a bag denied, and now she’s headed to the North Carolina Courage, who desperately need a spark in their attack.
