The Wave have acquired Carusa from Lionesses via a free transfer. Carusa is under contract with the Wave for the remainder of the 2023 NWSL season.
“We started following Kyra closely this offseason, and we are excited to welcome her to the club,” said San Diego Wave FC Head Coach Casey Stoney. “She will bring healthy competition to our forward group and provide the team with much-needed depth for the rest of this season. She’s just coming back from the World Cup and eager to make a difference to help her hometown make a run deep into the playoffs.
Carusa is a striker who had some of Ireland's best chances at the recent World Cup. Ireland's World Cup run came to end at the Group Stage, finishing with a draw and two losses.
