She won Olympic gold with Canada and the NCAA Championship with the Florida State Seminoles in 2021. Gabrielle Carle will make the leap to the pro in 2022. She has just reached an agreement with the Kristianstads DFF, in Swedish first division.
She signed a one-year contract with her new team, which finished at 3e rank of the Swedish championship in 2021. The Quebecer will therefore be part of a team participating in the Champions League in 2022.
The 23-year-old Lévisienne will be going there from the second week of January.
Gabrielle Carle also had the option of making herself available for the NWSL draft, the highest level of women’s soccer in the United States.
“Gabby had offers from several teams in Sweden, Spain and very serious interest from teams in France, England and the United States,” said Obelisk sports group agent Nicolas A Martineau in a press release. She was spoiled for choice, but her primary goal was to sign for a team where she would play an important role from the start. “
Carle thus joins other Canadian players who have taken the road to Europe. Jessie Fleming (Chelsea), Jordyn Huitema, Stephanie Labbé and Ashley Lawrence (PSG), Deanne Rose (Reading FC), Janine Beckie (Manchester City) and Kadeisha Buchanan (Olympique Lyonnais), to name just a few, evolve from the on the other side of the Atlantic.
