The final match of the year in the NWSL is filled with celebrations and activities highlighting the Championship. Besides the festive atmosphere, there’s buzz surrounding offseason moves.

The focus shifts to Gotham FC’s potential free agent, Midge Purce, who joined the club back when it was known as Sky Blue FC in 2020. Her journey includes overcoming hurdles such as injuries and witnessing the team’s evolution into serious contenders.

Purce recently earned the MVP title for her impressive play during the NWSL Championship, showcasing her skill after significant challenges, including a severe ACL injury that hampered her previous season.

Purce is aware that this game could signal the end of her time in Gotham FC attire. She indicated, “I must prioritize my own well-being when making my future decisions.” Sources indicate interest from both NWSL teams and international leagues like Liga MX Femenil in Purce’s talents.

She credits her teammates, notably Rose Lavelle and Tierna Davidson, for their support through her recovery journey, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in overcoming challenges. Although the outcomes of the game and her future line up in uncertainty, Purce’s focus remains on performing well in the championship ahead.
