Alex Kerr boosts FC Porto women’s team for 2026/27 | OneFootball

Alex Kerr is the latest signing for FC Porto’s women’s team. The American forward, who previously played for Como and Parma in Italy, arrives in Porto on a free transfer to join Daniel Chaves’s squad for the 2026/27 season.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the 25-year-old took her first notable steps in the NC Courage youth ranks. In 2018, she finished as the team’s top scorer in the Development Academy championship, with 16 goals.

While still in high school, Kerr set a Chapel Hill High School record by scoring 44 goals in a single season. In her final year, she added another 42 goals, a tally that earned her several individual honors and secured her place at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, where she combined her academic path with sport.

Over the course of her four-year degree in Human and Organizational Development, FC Porto’s future number 9 made 63 appearances and scored 12 goals. After completing her studies, she continued her university career in Texas, where she enjoyed a breakthrough season and set new personal bests for goals (11), assists (five), and minutes played (1,631).

After her spell at Texas Tech University, she made her professional football debut. At 22, she moved to Florida to play for Orlando Pride, the club that won the top women’s league in the United States, the NWSL, in 2024. A season later, she headed to Italy, beginning her adventure in European football.

At Como, her first club on the Old Continent, the striker scored six goals in 22 matches and was one of the most-used players in the side that finished eighth in the Italian League. Last season, she moved to Parma Calcio during the winter transfer window, catching FC Porto’s attention, and the club secured her signing ahead of its debut in the women’s top flight.
