Alex Kerr strengthens 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’ squad for the 2026/27 season.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the 25-year-old player first stood out in NC Courage’s 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 admission to Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, where she combined her academic path with her sporting career.

Over the four years of her Human and Organizational Development degree, 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, came her professional football debut. At 22, she moved to Florida to play for Orlando Pride, the club that won the United States’ top women’s league, the NWSL, in 2024. A season later, she headed to Italy, beginning her adventure in European football.

At Como, her first club in 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 joined 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 division.
