WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 29, 2026) – DC Power Football Club has signed forward, Hannah Richardson through the 2025/26 Gainbridge Super League season pending league and federation approval. Richardson joins a dynamic group of new signings and most recently played for Lexington SC of the Gainbridge Super League.
“Hannah is a prolific goal scorer, and we’re excited for her to join us this season,” Steven Birnbaum, DC Power Football Club Sporting Director, said. “She was efficient in her Gainbridge Super League debut with Lexington and in her first professional contract overseas with HB Køge. We’re excited to welcome her to the team and confident that she will make an immediate impact on our attacking line.”
Signing with Lexington SC ahead of the inaugural 2024/25 season, Richardson scored three goals in 21 matches, the fourth-most goals for Lexington’s side. In Lexington SC’s final match of the inaugural season, Richardson scored her first two Gainbridge Super League goals, fueling Lexington’s 3-0 shutout against DC Power FC to end the Fall Slate of the season.

She built on her rookie season success and recorded the second-most goals and points during her Sophomore season (2020) and was named to the SEC Preseason Watch List.
