Dallas Trinity free agency, roster tracker: Here’s a look at the 2025-26 team

DALLAS — Dallas Trinity FC (DTFC) is making moves to retool for year two in the USL Super League, now officially known as the Gainbridge Super League.

DTFC finished its inaugural season at No. 3 in the league standings, which clinched the playoffs. The Trinity ended up losing in their playoff game to the eventual champion, Tampa Bay Sun FC.

Dallas fired its first head coach, Pauline MacDonald, and is in the search for a new head coach. General Manager Chris Petrucelli is currently serving as the interim head coach, a role he assumed as MacDonald had visa issues at the beginning of the season, which delayed her arrival.

DTFC said it has exercised club options for goalkeeper Sam Estrada, along with midfielders Gracie Brian and Chioma Ubogagu.

Midfielder Camryn Lancaster and forwards Cyera Hintzen and Allie Thornton have agreed to contract extensions for the upcoming season.

The following players remain under contract with Dallas and will be returning for the 2025/26 season: Defenders Amber Brooks, Hannah Davison, and Shadia Nankya; midfielders Deb Abiodun, Jenny Danielsson, and Lexi Missimo; forwards Tamara Bolt and Lucy Shepherd.

Reigning Young Player of the Year Sealey Strawn is re-signing with the club as an academy player.

On the free agent market, Dallas has signed goalkeeper Rylee Foster, defender Samar Guidry, midfielder Maya McCutcheon and forward Kiley Dulaney to contracts with the club.

• Rylee Foster: Foster, who hails from Kitchener, Ontario and played collegiately at West Virginia, spent the past season with Barclay Women’s Championship side Durham WFC. She has represented Canada at the U-17 and U-20 levels, and was called up to the senior national team in 2021.
• Samar Guidry: Local product Guidry (McKinney, Texas) played club soccer for FC Dallas and joins DTFC after a five-year collegiate career at Virginia, where she earned Freshman All-ACC Team (2020) and All-ACC Second Team (2021) honors.
• Maya McCutcheon: Another DFW local, McCutcheon, spent last season with A-League Women side Wellington Phoenix FC, where she made 23 appearances. McCutcheon grew up in Murphy, Texas and played club soccer for FC Dallas. She split her time in college between Oklahoma and West Virginia, making the All-Big 12 Freshman Team in 2019 as a Sooner.
• Kiley Dulaney: Dulaney, a native of Jacksonville, Arkansas, spent time with NWSL side Washington Spirit last season, making one appearance. She played collegiately at Arkansas, earning All-SEC Second Team honors in 2024.
