Sonnett has made 45 international appearances for the USA and was part of the World Cup squad that took gold in France last year - even though it was sparse with playing time in the championship.

"Coming to a good league"

"I know I will come to a good league and to a high quality team, I have heard a lot about the club and look forward to becoming an important player for the rest of the season," the 26-year-old said in a press release.

Sonnett belongs to Orlando Pride, but since the season in the USA was canceled due to the pandemic, the opportunity opened up to come to Sweden and Gothenburg, where she is intended as a replacement for compatriot Annika Schmidt, who had injury concerns and was loaned to Sunnanå in the elite.
