“They don’t make them like Sam Coffey anymore. She’s a gem,” quite a well-deserved praise from Emma Hayes, as the USWNT midfielder has indeed made remarkable strides over the past couple of years. In fact, more recently, she earned a fresh commitment from her NWSL club after signing a contract extension with the Portland Thorns. And little does one know—a unique feat played a quiet yet pivotal role in securing the faith of her domestic club.
Sam Coffey’s 16 regular-season NWSL assists have led to goals by 11 different Portland Thorns FC players—her latest being a perfectly placed setup for Pietra Tordin on Saturday. A true midfield distributor, isn’t she?
