Defending champion Gotham FC announced the signing Monday of two-time NCAA champion Jordynn Dudley.

The decorated Florida State forward inked a multi-year deal through the 2028 NWSL season.

Dudley, 21, recorded 30 goals and 29 assists in just 53 matches as a three-time All-American with the Seminoles.

'Jordynn is a dynamic attacker who has shown the ability to impact games at a very high level,' general manager Yael Averbuch West said. 'We're excited to add her to our attacking group and look forward to supporting her continued growth as a professional player.'

Dudley guided Florida State to national championships in 2023 and 2025. As a junior in 2025, she contributed 11 goals and 14 assists in 22 starts.

'I am so excited to join a championship-caliber organization like Gotham FC with a history of success,' she said. 'I know this environment will push my development every day, and I can't wait to compete alongside this incredible team.'

Gotham FC will open the 2026 NWSL regular season on March 14 against expansion club Boston Legacy FC in Foxborough, Mass.
