Utah Royals FC announced on October 14, 2026, that forward Jameese Joseph has signed a contract extension through the 2029 NWSL season. The agreement includes a mutual option for the 2030 season.
The 24-year-old forward was acquired by the club during the 2026 NWSL summer transfer window from Chicago Stars FC. Joseph previously featured in 63 matches for Chicago after being selected 15th overall in the 2024 NWSL Draft. During her tenure with Chicago, she recorded seven goals and three assists across nearly three seasons.
After arriving in the Wasatch Front in September, Joseph appeared in her first match for the Royals as a second-half substitute. Her career includes a senior team debut for the United States on November 28, 2025, in a 3-0 victory over Italy, as well as recent call-ups to the U-23 squad.
The addition of Joseph is intended to bolster the Utah Royals FC offense as the club seeks its first-ever playoff push.
