The OL Reign extended midfielder Olivia Van der Jagt’s contract through the 2026 NWSL season on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old Washington native has one goal in 32 appearances (21 starts) since entering the league in 2022.

“Getting drafted by my hometown team and being able to start my professional career in Seattle was a dream come true,” Van der Jagt said in a news release. “I’m so honored and grateful to have the opportunity to continue playing where I grew up for another three years in front of my family and friends. I’m proud to represent this city and our fans and will give my very best to help us achieve our goals.”

Van der Jagt’s first career goal was a match-winner in the Reign’s April 15 home opener against San Diego.

“Olo has been such a great fit for our club and embodies all of the qualities we look for in a player, which is why we’re thrilled to have her with us for the next three seasons,” Reign head coach Laura Harvey said. “Since we drafted her, she’s made an immediate impact on our roster and has been a consistent threat with her presence in the midfield. We’re very happy to have her on our side and watch her grow through 2026.”
