Boston (January 26, 2026) - Boston Legacy Football Club today announced that after signing with the club earlier this January, forward Nichelle Prince has signed a new contract with Boston for two years with a club option for a third. Prince joined the Legacy earlier this January via a trade with the Kansas City Current and is currently with the team in Florida at IMG Academy for warm-weather preseason training.
“It's really great to get to know all the girls and to get to know each other on the field,” said Prince. ”Everyone's just really ready to learn and to play. The city of Boston's really supporting us and they're really excited to have a women's team come to the city. So I think that it's gonna be a great year, and I'm excited to build something here with the Legacy.”
