FC Kansas City, 2016–2017

After FC Kansas City ceased operations, Arlitt officially joined the Utah Royals FC on February 12, 2018. [8] Arlitt began the 2018 season on the 45-Day Disabled List (D45) as she was still recovering from a knee injury.

The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) federation players were players whose salaries for playing in the NWSL were paid for by their respective national federations from 2013 to 2021. American federation players were contracted to the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and not to their respective NWSL clubs, whereas Canadian federation players were contracted directly to their respective NWSL clubs. Federation players were sometimes known as allocated players, allocation players, or subsidized players, which occasionally created confusion with players paid using NWSL allocation money, a mechanism introduced before the 2020 NWSL season.
