Les Vertes resumed training on Monday to prepare for the new D1 Arkema season which begins on September 16. Many players have extended or joined the ranks of the workforce! This Friday, it’s a new attacker who has just been made official!
ASSE has just started its seven-week preparation. Questioned by our colleagues progress at the start of the week, coach Laurent Mortel announced that he was waiting for new recruits.
“Two players have not yet arrived: a Belarusian is currently in selection, another, Irish, is waiting for administrative documents. In the coming days, we will welcome a central defender. We discuss with two profiles. »
For the moment, none of these profiles has been formalized. Indeed, it is the young 22-year-old American striker Kristen Scott who has come to strengthen the workforce. A new adventure awaits the young player who has never evolved far from her country. However, it was Elise Legrout, the captain of the Vertes who came to her a few years ago at the University of Central Florida.
Club press release:
Originally from Orlando, Florida, Kristen Scott began playing football at an early age. Initially trained at Edgewater High School, the young striker, always obsessed with goals, continued her career at university level with the University of Central Florida located in her hometown and played on the field with Élise Legrout, captain of the Vertes.
Then a resident of the American Athletic Conference, Kristen Scott quickly made a name for herself by scoring 33 goals, including several decisive ones with the UCF. Voted best striker in her championship in 2022, the young striker was recently drafted in 41st position by the Orlando Pride club, resident of the National Women’s Soccer League, one of the most competitive women’s championships in the world. A symbolic because it is under the colors of Pride that the young Kristen had taken her first steps on the grounds.
Exiled for the first time in her young career on the other side of the Atlantic, Kristen Scott is about to discover French women’s football. It is under the colors of AS Saint-Étienne, promoted this season to D1 Arkema, that she will take her first steps at the professional level. Welcome Kristen!
Kristen Scott: “I’m enthusiastic about the idea of having this first experience in France, both on and off the pitch. I like to use my speed, be clinical in front of goal and I hope to be as clinical as possible with ASSE.”
Laurent Mortel, ASSE coach: “Kristen is a central striker with a profile that will bring us competition. She is able to keep the ball and has an interesting heading game. She will be invaluable for us this season.”
