STATESBORO, Ga. – South Georgia Tormenta FC has announced the addition of defender Peyton Chick to its 2023 USL W League title-defending roster, pending league and federation approval. A Western Washington University alum, Chick has spent time in the professional setting with Hapoel Ra’anana A.F.C. in the second division of the Israeli Football Association.
“Peyton brings a wealth of experience to Tormenta FC. As a player with professional experience, she has intimate knowledge of what it takes to play the modern game at the highest level. She is another dynamic attacking back who can play as a winger as well. She is very comfortable with the ball at her feet, and she can take players on and provide wide service or go straight to goal. She is also a proven goalscorer, which gives us another dangerous option that our opponents must deal with in the wide areas.”
Jim Robbins, Tormenta FC USL W League Head Coach
Chick appeared in a program record 93 games during a four-year career (2016-19). Throughout her time with Western Washington, Chick accumulated 4,832 minutes played, contributing with seven goals and 22 assists, the seventh most in program history. During Western Washington’s run to the Division II national title match in 2019, Chick recorded five assists in six postseason matches.
In June of 2021, Tormenta FC was named a founding member of the USL W League, an elite pre-professional pathway for women looking to build their careers both on and off the pitch. Tormenta FC won its first-ever USL W League title in 2022 after defeating the Minnesota Aurora in front of 6,500 fans in Eagan, Minnesota.
Tormenta FC provides opportunities to local and national players to develop and start their professional careers in Statesboro, Georgia. In just one year, Tormenta FC’s USL W League team has produced six professional players with Sydney Martinez joining Jenae Packard, Emily Burke, Kelly Giddes, Abigail Wolf and Jodi Medina as the latest player to sign a contract in Europe.
