A NorKam Secondary graduate is the first recruit for the WolfPack women’s soccer team's 2018-19 season.
Centreback/midfielder Ainsley Grether of Kamloops will join the TRU team after graduating from NorKam later this spring. Grether plays with the Thompson Okanagan Football Club.
“TRU has always been part of my heart,” Grether said. “I have been watching the team since I was little and then I trained with them a few times in the off season. It gave me a sense as to what this club is all about!
“When it came down to deciding where I wanted to be playing the next four or five years, Thompson Rivers is literally right in my backyard and gave me everything I wanted.”
Grether is looking forward to sporting the black and orange as a hometown player at Hillside Stadium, her favourite place in Kamloops. TRU will be announcing more women’s soccer recruits in the coming weeks.
