The Kansas City Current acquired forward Penelope Hocking from Bay FC on Wednesday.
The Current sent $350,000 in intra-league transfer funds to complete the deal for Hocking, 26.
'We are very excited to welcome Penelope to Kansas City,' general manager Ryan Dell said in a statement. 'Penelope's aptitude for scoring goals from anywhere on the field, combined with her ability to create chances for those around her, will only strengthen our attack. Above all, she is a great person and teammate who will positively impact our club on and off the pitch.'
Hocking recorded a team-high six goals and one assist in 18 regular-season matches (10 starts) last season with Bay FC. She scored seven goals with the Chicago Red Stars from 2023-24.
'I'm extremely excited to be joining the Kansas City Current,' Hocking, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft, said in the team's news release. 'This is a club with high expectations and high standards, and I'm excited to bring my energy, compete every day and help the team win trophies.'
