PORTLAND, Ore. (May 19, 2025) – Portland Thorns FC announced today that it has signed goalkeeper Haley Craig to a roster-relief contract through June 2025. Craig will join the Thorns ahead of their Concacaf W Champions Cup matches this week, starting off with their semifinal contest against Tigres UANL on Wednesday, May 21 at Estadio Universitario in Monterrey, Mexico with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PT on Paramount+ (ENG), ESPN Deportes (SPA) and ESPN+ (SPA).
Craig will be a familiar face for Portland as she had the opportunity to work alongside the Thorns squad as a non-roster invitee during preseason in preparation for the 2025 NWSL season.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper arrives having most recently played for Stanford University between 2021-24. Craig made 34 appearances as a Cardinal and combined for 12 shutouts and a 21W-5L-2D regular-season record across 2,601 minutes played.
In addition to playing a key role in Stanford’s 2024 semifinal run in the NCAA Women’s College Cup, the Michigan native was a member of the Cardinal’s runner up finish in the 2023 national tournament and lifted the Pac-12 Championship in 2022.
The Thorns’ 2025 roster as it stands can be found below by position.
Players on the season-ending injury list or on maternity leave do not hold an active roster spot for the 2025 season.
