[edit]On September 21, 2017, Raso signed a loan with Brisbane Roar for the 2017–18 W-League season.[1]
on September 24, 2017, the club announced that midfielder Amandine Henry and forward Nadia Nadim will not be returning to the Portland Thorns in 2018 season. The moves were made for financial reasons, NWSL has a strict salary cap of $315,000 for each team and the Thorns could not compete with the offers made by Lyon and Manchester City.[2]
