New Zealand international Abby Erceg is out of contract with top-tier United States club Racing Louisville and will become a free agent.
The Kentucky club has confirmed Erceg (35) will not sign a new contract.
“Thank you for everything, Abby! Wishing you nothing but the best in your next chapter,” the club said through its X channel.
With the conclusion of the United States’ National Women’s Soccer League, Racing Louisville have confirmed a list of 26 players who are contracted for next season, including New Zealand international striker Milly Clegg.
Erceg leaves Racing Louisville after being named an Iron Woman of the league, the third time she has earned such recognition.
The Iron Woman title honours players who complete every minute of the season for their club, and Erceg was one of seven players who earned the accolade this year.
Erceg has not missed a minute of play in her two regular seasons and 48 league games with Racing Louisville.
As well as her back-to-back Iron Woman seasons with Racing Louisville, she previously earned the title when with North Carolina Courage.
Racing Louisville finished 9th in the 14-club competition in 2024, playing 26 regular season games.
Erceg played 146 times for the Football Ferns before retiring from international football in 2023.
The seven 2024 Iron Women are:
- Abby Erceg (defender, Racing Louisville FC)
- Katie Lund (goalkeeper, Racing Louisville FC)
- Casey Murphy (goalkeeper, North Carolina Courage)
- Kaleigh Kurtz (defender, North Carolina Courage)
- Anna Moorhouse (goalkeeper, Orlando Pride)
- Kate Del Fava (defender, Utah Royals)
- Tara McKeown (defender, Washington Spirit)
