Ally Sentnor, the 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year and the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 NWSL Draft, joined the Kansas City Current in August 2025 from the Utah Royals.

A nominee for 2024 NWSL Rookie of the Year, Sentnor’s first professional season included three goals and four assists for the Utah Royals while playing 1,866 minutes in 21 matches, all of them as part of the starting lineup. She also played two games in the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup and scored in both. Sentnor was named the NWSL Rookie of the Month and Player of the Month in July 2024 and is only the second player in league history to win both awards in the same month. She started all 13 games for Utah during the first half of 2025 NWSL regular season play, seeing nearly 1,200 minutes while recording a goal and an assist.

Sentnor received her first U.S. Women’s National Team call-up in November 2024 with her first cap being in front of over 78,000 fans at Wembley Stadium against England on Nov. 30. Her first senior team goal came in the opening match of the 2025 SheBelieves Cup against Colombia on Feb. 20 in what was her first start and third cap, becoming the first U.S. player to score her first USWNT goal in the SheBelieves Cup Tournament. Sentnor’s first USWNT assist was on now-KC Current teammate Michelle Cooper’s goal in the second match of the SheBelieves Cup vs. Australia three days later. She then capped off the event by scoring in the final SheBelieves Cup game against Japan on Feb. 26. Sentnor scored her first brace in a U.S. uniform in a friendly with Jamaica on June 3.

Sentnor, who was named the 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year a month before her SheBelievesCup breakthrough, represented the Stars and Stripes at nearly every youth level as one of the most decorated U.S. Youth National Team players in history. She captained the U.S. squad which earned bronze at the 2024 FIFA U-20 World Cup where she took home the Bronze Ball as the tournament's third-best player for scoring three goals. Sentnor, who co-captained the team at the 2024 U-20 Concacaf Championship, led the roster with four goals and two assists as the USA finished as runner-up to secure the World Cup berth. She was also one of the youngest players on the U.S. roster at the 2022 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and she helped the U-20 team win the 2022 Sud Ladies Cup.

A native of Hanson, Mass., Sentnor played collegiately at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill from 2021-23. She amassed 21 goals, nine assists, 10 game-winning goals and over 3,000 minutes in 48 games for the Tar Heels in two seasons, having sat out her freshman year due to injury. She guided UNC to a national runner-up finish in 2022 and totaled four goals and three assists across four NCAA Tournament games in 2023. Her college accolades include 2023 ACC Midfielder of the Year, 2023 United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-America, two-time All-ACC First Team (2022, 2023), 2022 All-Atlantic Region Third Team and 2024 All-Atlantic Region First Team.
