From NWSL to WSL, Which Stars Take Center Stage as Wrexham Red Dragons (Women) Line Up for TST Debut

8 teams, 4 days, and a $1 million prize—a lot is at stake for the much-anticipated ‘TST,’ or ‘The Soccer Tournament.’ As the tournament has already begun, with the men playing in an expanded 48-team segment, it’s the inaugural women’s category that everyone is excited about. Wrexham Red Dragons is among the eight teams competing for the million-dollar prize over four days. So, which big names represent the women’s side of the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club?

Seven players who have propelled Wrexham AFC Women to third place in the Welsh top flight this season will travel to North Carolina with manager Steve Dale. The squad includes Wrexham Women’s top goalscorer Rosie Hughes, midfielder Lili Jones, goalkeeper Del Morgan, captain Keren Allen, full-back Phoebe Davies, winger Carra Jones, and striker Ava Suckley. Former England international Carly Telford, who has previously played for Chelsea and San Diego, will join the team as a veteran.

Nicole Baxter, a former midfielder for Gotham FC who played in last year’s tournament for the US Women, will now feature for the Wrexham Red Dragons. Additionally, former Orlando Pride star and current Puerto Rico captain Nickolette Driesse adds depth to the squad. The team is further bolstered by three American players: Bridget Callahan, Danica Evans, and Lindsay Agnew. Completing the roster are ex-Gotham FC and Seville star Sabrina Flores, and former FC Kansas City defender Brianne Reed.

These are some of the interesting names that would be helping Ryan Reynolds’ side win the million-dollar prize. While the roster for the much-anticipated tournament looks set, let’s take a look at their opponents.
