The Puskas Award runner up has been subject to quite a bit of interest since she left French side ASPTT Albi last month. Many suggested that given the high profile nature of the women's game in the States, the NWSL would be the best move for Roche and it seems that is the case.
Houston coach Randy Waldrum told the club's website just how much his side are excited to have signed the Irish attacker.
Stephanie will bring a wealth of international experience to our team, and another great attacking option that is different from what we have already. All our Dash fans and fans of women’s soccer in general will be excited about this signing.
