Monday bids Washington Spirit farewell after Boston switch

Gift Monday, the forward for the Washington Spirit, has bid a heartfelt farewell to the club after transferring to Boston Legacy. The 24-year-old joined Boston Legacy on October 8 in a trade that included $500,000 in transfer threshold funds, with a 20 percent sell-on clause for Washington Spirit. On Thursday, Monday shared her emotional farewell on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the memories and the special place Washington Spirit holds in her heart.

She thanked the club for being an integral part of her professional journey, despite the sadness of saying goodbye. Monday joined Washington Spirit from Spanish club UD Tenerife in March 2025 and quickly became a crucial attacking option. She made her debut for the team on April 12, 2025, and scored her first goal a week later, marking her first start.

On September 28, 2025, she achieved a new league record by scoring a hat-trick against Houston Dash within the first 36 minutes of the match. Throughout the season, she contributed 12 goals and three assists in 48 appearances across all competitions.
