O’Reilly, who retired from U.S. Women’s National Team duty last autumn, joins the likes of Alex Morgan and Crystal Dunn to move to Europe. Dunn is also playing in London with Chelsea Ladies, while Morgan is now with French side Lyon on a six-month loan.
The 32-year-old midfielder earned 231 caps for the USWNT. She is currently eighth on the all-time appearances list.
