“There are very few people who understand what this club is about the way Lu does,” said Seattle Reign FC Head Coach Laura Harvey. “She helped build the standards and culture that have defined this organization for more than a decade. She’s been a leader throughout her career and has always been invested in supporting the players around her. We’re thrilled to welcome her back and know she’ll be a valuable addition to our staff.”
Barnes established a league and club records with 252 regular-season appearances, 240 starts and 21,109 minutes after 13 seasons with Seattle. After retiring following the 2025 season, she earned her U.S. Soccer Federation B License and will help the Reign with training sessions, match preparation and player development.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return to this club in a coaching role,” said Barnes. “Seattle has been my home for more than a decade. This organization has meant so much to me throughout my career, which is what makes this opportunity so special. I’m excited to continue learning alongside Laura and the staff while supporting our players and look forward to getting back on the field and helping this team compete every day.”
