"Sophie is another player with extensive international experience in Europe and with the Canadian women’s national team," Houston coach James Clarkson said in a statement. "Her experience and ability with the ball will have a major impact on the team."
Schmidt, who has won 180 caps for Canada, joins fellow Canadians Lindsay Agnew, Allysha Chapman and Nichelle Prince on the Houston roster.Schmidt previously played for Sky Blue FC in the NWSL, the Vancouver Whitecaps , MagicJack and Sweden’s Kristianstads DDF. The Canadian was acquired through the NWSL discovery process, which covers domestic or international players not under contract with the league.
