Ashley Lawrence

Ashley Elizabeth Marie Lawrence (born June 11, 1995) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a full-back or a midfielder for Première Ligue club OL Lyonnes and the Canada national team. She has been described as "one of the best attacking full-backs in the world."

Lawrence played college soccer at West Virginia University for the Mountaineers, where she co-captained the team, and won numerous accolades.

While playing for West Virginia University from 2013 to 2016, Lawrence played for the W-League franchises Toronto Lady Lynx in 2013 and Ottawa Fury in 2014. In June 2016, Lawrence signed with Vaughan Azzurri of League1 Ontario to get more game action prior to the 2016 Rio Olympics. She made her debut on June 26 alongside national teammate Kadeisha Buchanan in a 9–0 win over Darby FA.

Upon graduating from West Virginia University, Lawrence was a highly rated prospect prior to the 2017 NWSL College Draft. In January 2017, Lawrence signed with Paris Saint-Germain in Division 1 Féminine, with a two-year contract. With PSG she reached the final of the UEFA Champions League in her first season, where they only lost on penalties against league rivals Olympique Lyon. She was one of the successful shooters on her team.

As third place in the league, PSG missed the 2017/18 Champions League. In December 2018, Lawrence signed a multi-year contract extension with PSG. In 2018/19, PSG was able to compete again as league runners-up, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals against Chelsea. Lawrence appeared in four of the six games.

In 2020/21 they beat Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and were also able to replace Lyon as French champions after 14 championship titles in a row.  Lawrence was used in 20 of 22 league games and in 6 Champions League games, which ended with elimination in the semi-finals against eventual winners FC Barcelona.

On July 1, 2023, Lawrence signed a three-year deal with Chelsea in the Women's Super League until the summer of 2026. She joined the London-based club after she had represented the Parisians for the past six years. She scored her first goal for Chelsea against Aston Villa on November 4, 2023.

In July 2025, the Canadian full-back officially departed Chelsea, signing a three-year contract with Olympique Lyonnais , valid until June 2028.
