HOUSTON – The Houston Dash and goalkeeper Jane Campbell have agreed to a four-year contract extension through the 2027 season plus an option for 2028. The new contract commences on Jan. 1, 2025, and the option will be triggered on Campbell’s first match of that season.


“When I was drafted here, I envisioned a career where I would only play for this team. I was not sure if that was possible since that is so rare in this profession. Eight years later, I have spent my entire career in Houston and I want to thank my teammates, both past and present, for their support and making me the player I am today. I wouldn’t be here without them, I go to battle with them every week and they are the reason I show up to work every day,” Campbell said. “The organization has evolved so much since 2017 and it feels like we have a fresh start with the arrival of Ted Segal and the leadership of the club. I want to be a part of executing their vision for this team on and off the field. The fans play a large part in that and I’m grateful for their support over the years. They make Shell Energy Stadium a special venue and I promise to do all that I can to repay everyone for their support over the years. This is just the first step.”

Campbell is the reigning NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year after a stellar 2023 campaign where she led Houston to one of the best defensive campaigns in league history. The team conceded the fewest goals last season with just 18 goals allowed in 22 games; the third-lowest tally ever allowed in league play. She led the league with 93 saves and finished with eight clean sheets, a club and personal record.

“Jane is an integral piece of the Dash and has proven she is one of the best players in the league. Her work ethic, professional approach, and commitment to her own development and that of the club’s as we evolve is world class,” Dash General Manager Alex Singer said. “She is our leader on the field and her impact goes beyond the saves and shutouts, as she is deeply engaged with our community. We are thrilled to have agreed to a new long-term contract and have every confidence in her to lead our club for years to come.”

Campbell has started 162 games for the Dash in all competitions and logged 14,602 minutes in goal for Houston. She has tallied 35 clean sheets in league play and is tied for the fifth highest mark in league history. She has tallied 492 saves in league…
