About Trinity Rodman
The daughter of basketball legend Dennis Rodman, Trinity Rodman has carved her own identity in football — signing the largest contract in NWSL history at just 20 years old and announcing herself as one of the most exciting young players in world football.
Trinity Rodman's story
Famous Father, Own Path
Trinity Rodman was born on 20 May 2002 in Newport Beach, California, the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman. While her father's fame could easily have defined her, Trinity has been determined to succeed on her own terms. She played college football at Washington State University and was the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NWSL Draft by Washington Spirit.
Record-Breaking Contract
In 2023, Washington Spirit signed Rodman to a contract worth a reported $1.1 million per year — the largest in NWSL history at the time. The deal reflected her explosive development and her commercial profile as perhaps the most recognisable young player in women's football. She was 20 years old.
USWNT Breakthrough
Rodman broke into the USWNT and became a regular presence in the national team's wide attacking positions. Her combination of pace, power, and directness makes her one of the most difficult wingers to defend in the world. She was a key presence in the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia, though the USA were knocked out in the Round of 16.
The Future
At just 22, Rodman is already one of the highest-profile players in women's football. Her potential is extraordinary — physically gifted, technically capable, and with a determination to prove herself independently of her father's fame. She represents the future of American women's football.
