Gotham FC Places Forward Jordynn Dudley on Season-Ending Injury List

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (Oct. 12, 2026) – Gotham FC has placed rookie forward Jordynn Dudley on the season-ending injury list, the club announced Monday.

Dudley, 21, suffered a foot fracture during a Gotham FC training session early this month and will miss the remainder of the 2026 NWSL campaign.

“We’re disappointed for Jordynn after the outstanding rookie season she has had,” said Yael Averbuch West, the president of soccer operations for Gotham FC. “She made an impact all over the field and played an important role in our push for the NWSL Shield and strong finish to the 2026 campaign. We’ll support Jordynn throughout her recovery and do everything we can to help her return healthy for next season.”

A Florida State graduate, Dudley made an immediate impact for Gotham FC, emerging as one of the most dynamic attackers in the NWSL and a major contender for NWSL Rookie of the Year honors. She totaled five goals and three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions, scoring in Gotham FC’s NWSL Challenge Cup victory. She twice earned NWSL Rookie of the Month honors.

The Georgia native signed with Gotham FC after a spirited race for her signature as the top collegiate prospect entering the NWSL. Dudley won two national championships with FSU and earned three All-American honors.

At the international level, Dudley has won bronze with the U.S. Youth National Team at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Prior to the 2025 season, Dudley was called into the U.S. Soccer Futures Camp, and she has been a regular U-23 call-up.
