DURHAM, N.C. — Ahead of the 2026 Gainbridge Super League season, Duke women's soccer graduate
Farrah Walters has signed a deal with Fort Lauderdale United FC to continue her professional career.
Following her graduation from Duke, Walters signed with fellow Gainbridge Super League club Tampa Bay Sun FC with 10 matches remaining in the 2025-26 season. The forward made her professional debut April 18 against Lexington SC, appearing as a substitute and logging 25 minutes in her lone appearance for the club.
"Farrah is an exciting young player with tremendous potential and a skill set that fits exactly what we're looking for in the final third," said Aly Hassan, general manager of Fort Lauderdale United FC. "She's already gained valuable experience in this league, and her pace, creativity, and ability to create scoring opportunities will add another dimension to our attack. We're excited to welcome her to Fort Lauderdale."
Walters, a two-time letterwinner with the Blue Devils, started 16-of-40 matches over the last two seasons at Duke. She helped lead the Blue Devils to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA College Cup and the 2024 ACC regular season title.
