Gambone joins Boston from Scotland’s Glasgow City F.C.
The Boston Legacy FC midfield continues to take shape, with the club announcing another versatile acquisition on Monday.
American Aleigh Gambone has signed with the Legacy through 2027, and will join Bundesliga club FC Nürnberg Frauen until the end of the year.
Gambone, 24, is originally from Virginia, and played her college soccer at the University of North Carolina.
She began her professional career on short term deal with Danish Women’s League club Fortuna Hjørring in 2022 prior to signing with Scottish Women’s Premier League side Glasgow City F.C. in 2023. In Scotland, Gambone flourished.
She won both the Coaches Player of the Year and the Players’ Player of the Year in the most recent season, notching four goals with seven assists across 28 games in Scotland’s top league.
“Aleigh joins the NWSL having gained valuable experience in Europe, both domestically and at the UEFA Women’s Champions League level. She has a solid foundation to build on having experienced four years at UNC,” said Legacy FC general manager Domè Guasch in a club statement. “Aleigh is a hardworking and versatile midfielder that brings a strong physical presence and ability to cover ground effectively. Finishing the year in the Bundesliga will further prepare her for the 2026 NWSL season.”
Legacy FC will not formally begin work on the field until preseason starts in early 2026 (with the club’s debut league campaign to follow). Gambone is part of a growing list of Boston signings as Guasch continues to assemble an expansion roster.
Joining her in midfield for Boston will be Alba Caño (signed from Barcelona) and Annie Karich (signed as a free agent following a stint with SC Freiburg).
