U.S. youth national team star Jaedyn Shaw signed with San Diego Wave FC in the NWSL, it was announced on Monday.

Shaw, who played club soccer with FC Dallas and Solar SC, spent the past six months training with the Washington Spirit before turning pro. Joining the league via the Discovery Process, she joins the Wave, which sat atop the list.

“First, I want to thank the Washington Spirit for providing me a professional training environment for the past six months,” Shaw said in a statement. “I am very grateful for their support. I also want to thank the NWSL for facilitating a pathway for me to join the league and start my childhood dream of becoming a professional soccer player. I couldn’t be more excited to join San Diego Wave. I’m looking forward to learning from Casey Stoney and the staff while helping the team continue to win games and hopefully bring home a championship in the club’s inaugural year!”

Shaw, previously committed to North Carolina, is No. 2 in the 2023 Girls IMG Academy Player Rankings. She should be a key contributor to the U.S. U20 WNT, which is set to compete at the World Cup in August.

“I believe wholeheartedly in the development and investment in young players, and as a club, we are passionate about giving them the platform to perform," Wave FC head coach Casey Stoney said in a press release. "We are extremely excited to sign Jaedyn. She has a very bright future, and I look forward to working with her and supporting her pathway to the highest level.”
