Brittany Margaret Ratcliffe is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward for the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League.

Did You Know?

She is engaged to her long-term partner, Matt Johns, who coaches American football at the University of New Mexico.

Her earliest football memory is playing for Franklin Township Youth Soccer, starting on a team called the Wolverines.

Growing up, she played softball, basketball, gymnastics, danced briefly, and even tried karate, but quit after one day.

She grew up admiring WUSA players and was a fan of the Philadelphia Charge, coached by Mark Krikorian, now the Spirit General Manager.

Her jersey number, 13, was the first she ever wore because no one else wanted it, and she liked its uniqueness despite the unlucky connotation.

Her proudest career moment was getting drafted mid-class presentation, leaving to take the call, and returning to celebrate with her peers.

She has recently celebrated 100 regular season games.

Football is her favorite sport to watch, a love that grew with age and appreciation for the game’s nuances.

She loves graphic tees, especially car-themed ones, and frequently adds to her collection without specific intent to collect.

Her dream cars include a 1972 Chevy Blazer, which her family owns, and a Ford GT40 for its exotic appeal.

Her first concert was Cole Swindell during her senior year of college, where she stood front row.

Her bright orange bow, originally worn at the University of Virginia to help her parents spot her on the field, has become her signature look, inspiring hashtags like #FearTheBow and #TheBowIsBack.
