Rhea Moore (born October 9, 2009) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward. In 2025, she became the youngest women's goal scorer in United States professional soccer history, scoring in her debut match for USL Super League club Dallas Trinity FC at age 15.[2] She is committed to play college soccer for the USC Trojans.[3]

Early life

Moore was born and raised in Sacramento, California,[4] as the middle child between two brothers.[5] She started playing soccer at the age of 7,[6] eventually joining San Juan Soccer Club in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).[7] She was recognized as one of the top forward prospects in the Class of 2027, earning invitations to regional and national development events. In 2024, she was named ECNL All-Conference for the Northern California region.[8]

Club career

In 2025, Moore signed a USL Academy contract with Dallas Trinity FC of the USL Super League.[9] She made her professional debut at age 15 against Sporting JAX in September 2025, scoring with her left foot to secure a place in history as the youngest women's goal scorer in any U.S. professional match.[2][8] After the game, Moore said: "I was shocked, but super happy… it was crazy, unreal. I'm super happy and grateful that all my teammates were there and I got this opportunity to play. I'm excited to see what comes." On November 2, 2025, she recorded her first professional assist in a match against DC Power FC. Two weeks later, she scored yet again, this time in a victory over the Spokane Zephyr. Moore was named to the November 2025 USL Super League Team of the Month for her performances across three games.[9] On January 16, 2026, Dallas announced that Moore would be departing from the club.[10] She had made 9 appearances for the Trinity in her first professional season.[1]

International career

Moore has been called up to training camps with the United States under-16 and under-17 youth national teams.[8]
