Forward Tobin Heath Placed on Season-Ending Injury List

September 16, 2022 – National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) – OL Reign News Release

SEATTLE, WA – OL Reign announced today that forward Tobin Heath has been placed on the Season-Ending Injury list. Heath underwent successful surgery to the left knee on Monday and after further evaluation and discussion, it was determined that her recovery timeline is expected to go just beyond the remainder of the 2022 season.

“Although this wasn’t an easy decision, we know this was the right decision,” said head coach Laura Harvey. “We always want to be mindful of our athletes and their health, so we wanted to be sure that Tobin will have the proper time needed to fully prepare for a successful return on the pitch. Despite missing time this season, Tobin has helped our younger players tremendously with her veteran mindset and experience.”

Heath, 34, was acquired by the Reign in June and appeared in five matches, tallying one goal, which was the game-winning goal on July 30 against Angel City FC when the Reign pulled off a 3-2 comeback on the road.
