Official! Rio Ave’s No 1 joins Sporting until 2028 | OneFootball

It’s official. Sporting have officially announced the signing of Cassie Coster for the women’s first team. The 22-year-old American goalkeeper joins the Lions’ squad until 2028, after a season with Rio Ave, where she stood out in the Liga BPI.

Presented as a new signing for the green and whites, the goalkeeper did not hide her delight: “Wearing the Sporting shirt means a great deal to me. It reflects the work ethic I have had throughout my life and the day-by-day dedication needed to keep taking steps forward in football,” she told the Club’s official media.

Cassie Coster also explained that the move to Sporting represents a natural step in her development: “Sporting are one of the best teams in Portugal and this is a big step in my career. I arrived in Portugal last year and this was the ideal step to take now.”

After establishing herself as Rio Ave’s first-choice goalkeeper and facing the Lionesses on three occasions last season, the shot-stopper said she was eager to get started in Alcochete: “Sporting have a great group of players, and I’m excited to start working with them.”
