Barcelona have announced the signing of American goalkeeper Tyler McCamey, 24, from Dallas Trinity on a free transfer. The move represents the club's second goalkeeping acquisition in recent days as they reshape their roster ahead of the 2026-2027 campaign. McCamey, who made 16 appearances for her previous side last season, will formalize her contract at the club's headquarters in the coming days, with president Joan Laporta and women's football director Xavier Puig in attendance.
Strengthening the Goalkeeper Position
McCamey's arrival follows hot on the heels of Renée van Asten's unveiling, signaling Barcelona's aggressive strategy to reinforce the goalkeeper position. The departures of established keepers created openings the club has moved swiftly to fill. Teixel Font, whose contract expired, has joined Badalona's women's team, opening the door for fresh competition and depth in goal.
Head coach Pere Romeu now has three goalkeepers competing for the number one jersey in domestic and continental fixtures:
- Cata Coll
- Gemma Font
- Tyler McCamey
McCamey brings experience from the Dallas Trinity in the National Women's Soccer League, where she developed her distribution and shot-stopping ability at a competitive level. Her signing underscores Barcelona's commitment to maintaining elite standards in La Liga Femenina and European competition. The rapid succession of goalkeeper signings demonstrates how seriously the Catalan club takes squad depth, particularly in roles that demand consistency across a grueling fixture schedule.
As Barcelona prepare for the 2026-2027 season, these acquisitions signal their intent to compete at the highest level in Spanish women's football and beyond.
