North Carolina Courage announced the mutual contract termination with Cortnee Vine, the Australian international forward. Vine originally signed a three-year contract in the summer of 2024 from Sydney FC of the Australian A-League Women. Since then, she earned 22 appearances and scored two goals with NC Courage. The termination will allow Vine to pursue other opportunities. Vine's time with the Courage included a game against Boston Legacy FC at Gillette Stadium on April 29, 2026. The Courage's decision to terminate Vine's contract may impact their upcoming matches. Cortnee Vine's departure from the Courage marks the end of her tenure with the club. The North Carolina Courage will likely look to sign new players to fill the gap left by Vine's departure. The club's management will be busy in the coming weeks, scouting for new talent to strengthen their squad.
