Brittany Michelle Klein (born October 29, 1986) is an American soccer midfielder. Klein is a former member of the United States women's national under-23 soccer team and a WPS All-Star in 2009.
Playing career
[edit]Youth Club
[edit]Klein played for Laguna Hills Eclipse. Her team won the United States Youth Soccer Association National Championship in 2002 and 2005, and they were State Cup semi-finalist in 2003.[2]
WPS
[edit]Klein was selected 14th overall in the 2009 WPS Draft.[3] For the 2009 season, she started every game and recorded a goal and 3 assists.[4] Klein was also named an All-Star.[5]
Klein again made the Red Stars' opening day roster in 2010.[6] Following the dissolution of Saint Louis Athletica in late May of 2010,[7] the Red Stars released Klein in order to be able to sign Anita Asante, who had become a free agent along with the rest of Saint Louis' roster. Red Stars President and General Manager, Marcia McDermott, said of Klein, "It's not easy to release a player of Brit's caliber and character. But with the unusual events in the past 10 days, we saw opportunities to address team needs."[8]
Klein signed with the Washington Freedom on June 29, 2010. She played in three matches, starting one.[9] The Freedom lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Philadelphia Independence.[10]
WPSL
[edit]In 2011, Klein joined the Orange County Waves for their first and only season.[11] The Waves won the WPSL championship, 2-1 against the Chicago Red Stars, Klein's former club. Klein provided the assist on the game winning goal.[12]
