'Big-game players': Calgary Wild FC add Kathryn Harvey, Jorian Baucom to bolster offence
Calgary Wild FC have bolstered their offence by adding Kathryn Harvey and Jorian Baucom to the roster. Article content Harvey (Coquitlam, B.C.) and Baucom (Scottsdale, Ariz.), who will provide additional depth to the Northern Super League club's attack, both joined their new squad for the first time at practice on Thursday. 'Kathryn and Jorian are two big additions to our club. They are big-game players who bring additional energy, drive and a wealth of international experience to our club,' said Wild FC sporting director Alix Bruch. 'They are creative in the attack and will bring speed and additional strength to our offence as we advance into the second half of our season.' Harvey, who played varsity lacrosse with LIU Brooklyn before transferring to Trinity Western University, was twice named to both the CanWest All-Second Team and USports Championship All-Star Team. She capped her varsity career finishing in the top five for game-winning goals. Harvey's scoring touch continued in the professional ranks where she was the top scorer for Denmark's Division 1 team. She also played for Fatih Vatan S.K. of the Turkish Women's Football Super League before signing with Melbourne City in the Australian A-League Women, where she tallied two goals in her debut. 'I'm really excited to play for the Wild FC, not only because it's my first time playing professionally in my home country, but also because of the team's culture and the culture of the organization as a whole,' said Harvey. 'It was great to be getting warm, welcoming messages from the team even before I arrived in Calgary so I already felt like I was part of the group.' Baucom was also attracted to the culture that has been created within Alberta's first professional women's sports team and is ready to soar with the Wild FC. 'I immediately knew this was an environment I wanted to be a part of — from the community and fan base to the facilities and stadium,' said Baucom, who played college soccer at Louisiana State University (2014-17) and University of Colorado Boulder (2017-18). 'I felt the passion and genuineness behind this club after speaking with Lydia (Bedford, the head coach) and Alix, and their desire to want to grow this into something special. I hope I can come in, make an impact and continue to move the club in the right direction.' Baucom is no stranger to playing for newly created sides. She comes to the Wild FC from DC Power FC, where she was the first player signing in the USL Super League. Her name is also in the history books as the first scorer in DC Power history. Baucom has had a strong professional career while playing for the Houston Dash (National Women's Soccer League) before signing with AC Sparta Prague (Czech Women's First League), and MSV Duisburg. She suited up in the National Women's Soccer League with short stints at Racing Louisville (2021) and the North Carolina Courage. Baucom headed to Portugal to play for SF Damaiense. She notched 27 goals across the 2023-24 season while suiting up for Hibernian in Scotland before her most recent stop in the United States with Fort Lauderdale United FC. Both newcomers were attracted to the Calgary Wild FC's commitment to community, ensuring all feel welcome at McMahon Stadium while also working equally hard to grow the game throughout Alberta.
