Hannah Claire Betfort (born January 4, 1999) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward for National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club Utah Royals.
Betfort attended Wando High School, where she played soccer as a forward.[3] She led the team in scoring in each of her first three years and was nominated for the South Carolina state Gatorade Player of the Year award.[4]
Betfort attended Wake Forest University. While not recruited as a soccer player, she received a walk-on invitation to the Demon Deacons women's soccer team from coach Tony da Luz after attending a camp.[5] As a freshman, she started in 17 of 20 regular-season matches and scored five goals.[6] During her sophomore year she moved positions from forward to defender, playing centre-back and right full-back, and captained the team during her last two seasons.[4]
Portland Thorns FC selected Betfort with the 37th-overall pick in the 2021 NWSL Draft.[4] She made her professional debut in the 2021 Women's International Champions Cup in August.[7] She scored her first professional goal on July 16, 2022, in a 5–0 victory against NJ/NY Gotham FC.[8]
On January 27, 2023, the Thorns re-signed Betfort to a two-year contract with an option for an additional year.[9]
On December 12, 2023, the Thorns traded Betfort, along with a 2024 draft pick and allocation money, to the Utah Royals ahead of the 2024 NWSL Expansion Draft for draft protection from the Royals. [10]
Betfort attended training camp for the United States women's national under-18 soccer team in February 2018, and competed with the team at the La Manga 12 Nations tournament in March 2018.[6][11]
