San Diego Wave FC extended forward Trinity Byars's contract through the 2028 season, the club announced Wednesday. The deal keeps the 23-year-old locked in as the Wave continue to build around one of the league's most productive young attackers.
Byars has four goals in nine appearances for the Wave this season, and three of those came off the bench. Two arrived in second-half stoppage time, giving San Diego results they might not have had otherwise. General manager Camille Ashton acknowledged that composure, praising Byars's finishing and ability to deliver under pressure.
"My time in San Diego thus far has been incredible and I'm really excited to continue my career with this club," Byars said.
Byars Hopes to Keep San Diego Wave Atop the NWSL Standings
That impact is even more notable given the road she took to get here.
Byars joined San Diego Wave in late 2024 as the first active NCAA athlete to sign with an NWSL club after the league moved away from the NWSL draft. She then missed the entire 2025 season recovering from an ACL injury before breaking out this year.
Her extension comes at a fitting time. The Wave sit atop the NWSL standings at 9-5-1 with 28 points. Keeping Byars only strengthens their push toward a title.
