West Hills native and Agoura High graduate Savy King is retuning to Southern California with Angel City FC.
King, a defender, who was the No. 2 overall pick by Bay FC in the 2024 NWSL Draft out of North Carolina, was acquired in exchange for $200,000 in intra-league transfer funds, plus an additional $100,000 in 2026. The trade was announced Monday.
King, 19, was the third-youngest draftee in league history after leaving UNC following her freshman year. She made 20 appearances last season for Bay FC (1,220 minutes).
King was a member of the U.S. team that finished third at the U-20 World Cup. She was also on the U.S. team for the 2022 U-17 World Cup and the CONCACAF U-17 Championship.
“Signing with Angel City is a full-circle moment for me,” King said. “This is my home, my community and the place where I fell in love with the game. I’m ready to give everything for this club and these incredible fans.”
King gives Angel City four teenagers on its roster, joining Gisele Thompson (19), Kennedy Fuller (17) and Casey Phair (17). King, who turns 20 on Saturday, is one of five players 20 or younger on the roster. Alyssa Thompson is also 20.
“Savy is a very exciting talent with a huge future and we are delighted to welcome her to Angel City,” ACFC sporting director Mark Parsons said. “Savy has shown across college, the U-20s and her NWSL rookie season that she is ready to have an immediate impact. We believe our environment will be able to push Savy to new heights and I am excited to see her impact in helping us reach our goals for many years.”
