Today, the Portland Thorns announced that defender Sam Hiatt has signed a contract extension through 2027.
“Sam is a strong leader whose experience has been extremely valuable on and off the pitch for our roster, and she has played a key role in the success we have seen over the last two seasons,” President and General Manager of Soccer Operations Jeff Agoos said. “We are excited to extend her time in Portland, and we look forward to her continued impact and leadership as we prepare to compete for an NWSL Championship.”
The captain is on pace for a career-season and led the way. She is in the top five in major statistics: blocks and clearances.
Her work in the community continues to make massive impacts. Last season, she was named the 2025 Lauren Holiday Impact Award - earning a $50,000 donation for her designated community partner, Candlelighters Oregon.
