Emeri Kate Adames (born April 3, 2006) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward for the Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). Adames signed with the Reign at the age of 17 in 2024. She won bronze medals with the youth national team at the 2023 Pan American Games and the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
Adames was raised in Dallas, Texas.[2] She attended her first two years of high school at Life High School Waxahachie, where she set a school record with 47 goals in one season in 2021 as a freshman, and she competed in cross country and track.[3] She then attended the University of Texas at Austin High School.[3] She played club soccer for the Dallas Texans Soccer Club and then Solar Soccer Club, earning ECNL All-American honors from 2021 to 2023.[3][4]
Club career
Seattle Reign
After training with Seattle Reign FC in the preseason, Adames signed a multi-year contract with club on March 13, 2024, through the NWSL's Under-18 Entry Mechanism.[5] She had previously committed to play college soccer at the University of North Carolina.[2] Adames took the number 47 jersey in emulation of Manchester City player Phil Foden.[6] She made her professional debut on March 17, coming on in the last minutes of the season-opening 1–0 win against the Washington Spirit.[7] On May 25, she scored her first professional goal just before full time in a 3–2 away loss to the Washington Spirit.[8] On August 25, she created an own goal in stoppage time that led to a 1–0 win against the North Carolina Courage. In celebration, she emulated the outstretched-arms pose of her childhood idol Megan Rapinoe, whose jersey was being retired by the Reign that night.[9]
