Early life

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, DeBree moved with her family to Fair Haven, New Jersey, where she played prep soccer at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School. [2] During her four seasons with the Rumson-Fair Haven Bulldogs, DeBree scored 46 goals and captained her side during her senior year. [2] She ended her high school ranked by topdrawersoccer.com as the 133 ranked player for the 2014 class and ranked 10 in the regional New Jersey class. [3] She was also named as the Asbury Park Press All-Shore Girls Player of the Year after her senior year. [3]

Prior to graduating, DeBree enrolled at Duke University and committed to playing college soccer for the Duke Blue Devils. [3] During her freshman year, DeBree started all 18 matches for the Blue Devils, helping the side to six cleansheets. [1] Prior to her sophomore year, DeBree joined the reserve side of National Women's Soccer League club Washington Spirit and played 10 matches as she helped the side to the 2015 W-League title. [4] During her sophomore year, DeBree played 11 matches before being sidelined for the rest of the season following an ACL tear on September 24, 2015, against the Boston College Eagles.

Career

On January 18, 2018, DeBree was selected with the first pick of the second round in the NWSL College Draft (11th overall) by former club Washington Spirit. [4] Despite being drafted, DeBree elected to finish her senior year at Duke University before joining the Washington Spirit training sessions midseason. [6] Despite being told that there were no more roster spots, DeBree continued to train with the Spirit and was eventually signed to a short temporary contract. [6] When she decided to move abroad, DeBree stated that coach Jim Gabarra told her "Oh, that's awkward. You have a full contract in your email inbox. So, I guess just delete it?". [6]

After leaving the Spirit, DeBree moved to the Czech Republic and joined Czech Women's First League club AC Sparta Prague. [7] Despite initially struggling, DeBree soon adjusted thanks to her former Blue Devils teammate Ashton Miller also playing with Sparta Prague.

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.
