Today marks exactly 13 years since Jess Fishlock's first NWSL goal (April 21, 2013) - a massive moment for Jess, the club and the rivalry.

Seattle Reign's Jess Fishlock retires after 14 seasons with club Seattle Reign midfielder Jess Fishlock announced on Tuesday that the 2026 NWSL season, her 14th with the club since the league launched in 2013, will be her last as a professional.

BREAKING: Jess Fishlock will retire at the end of the 2026 #NWSL season. She spent every NWSL season since league inception in 2013 with the Reign and she's the last club original (one of three in the league from 2013). I spoke with Fishlock about her decision and her career:

Claudia Dickey now holds club records in…

👑 shutouts (15)
👑 saves (190)
👑 single-season saves (88)
👑 GK appearances (55)

She’s also just one of 13 goalkeepers in #NWSL history to reach 15 shutouts with one club.

A strong month for the Boise, Idaho native, who extended her NWSL assist record with a multi-assist performance in Spokane, just ~400 miles from her hometown.

That’s now three out of a possible four NWSL Best XI of the Month selections for Sofia Huerta since returning from loan last August.

Even more significant, this marks the first time in club history that Reign FC has had at least five goal scorers and five players record an assist through the opening four matches of a season.

Thanks to @keepernotes.bsky.social for helping confirm!

Reign FC’s depth has been on display through four matches, with five different goal scorers (second-most in the NWSL) and a league-leading five players recording an assist.

Jess Fishlock, 39, scored the first goal, and Ainsley McCammon, 18, has the team’s latest assist.

Reign FC’s nine points through its first four matches of the 2026 NWSL season mark the second-best start in club history, behind only the 2014 Shield-winning season (12 points) and level with 2023.

Ainsley McCammon making club history ✨

With her assist tonight, the 18-year-old midfielder is now the youngest player in club history to record an assist. 🤝

All love from Sofia Huerta for Emeri Adames 💙

Emeri recorded her first start of 2026, along with her first career assist. ⚡️

Tonight’s multi-assist performance from Sofia Huerta is her first since 2021 and the fourth of her NWSL career, tying Kim Little for the most multi-assist games in league history.

As the NWSL’s all-time assist leader, Huerta now has 34 assists, 15 with Seattle Reign FC.

A love letter to the Emerald City from Lu Barnes. 💙

10 - With her goal on Friday, @reignfc.com's Sofia Huerta became the third player to score a goal in 10 different #NWSL seasons (Christine Sinclair, Jess Fishlock - 11 each). Tradition.

4 - @reignfc.com's Maddie Dahlien is the first player in #NWSL history whose first four career regular-season goals were all match-winners. Crucial.

- Jaedyn Shaw (2023)
- Trinity Rodman (2021)
- Mallory Swanson (2017)
- Sam Kerr (2013)

Last week, Jess Fishlock became just the fourth player in NWSL history to record 30+ goals and 30+ assists (regular season).

More impressively, three of the four players are on Reign FC’s active roster:
