Tobin Heath, a two-time World Cup winner and two-time Olympic gold medalist with the U.S. women’s national soccer team, has announced her retirement from professional play. The 37-year-old midfielder disclosed the decision on the “RE-CAP Show,” the podcast she co-hosts with former teammate Christen Press. Heath has not appeared in a professional match since August 2022 after a severe cartilage injury in her left knee required multiple surgeries. The setback curtailed a decorated career that produced 181 U.S. caps, 36 goals and 42 assists, along with club titles for Portland Thorns FC and stints at Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Arsenal. Her departure makes her eligible for the National Soccer Hall of Fame’s next voting cycle and frees her to expand off-field projects, including advisory work for FIFA’s men’s Club World Cup and new ventures in women’s sport development.
