This community-owned pre-professional club, which competes in the USL W League, announced the signing this week. Ranson joins Aurora after a standout college career at Cal State Fullerton, where he earned the Big West Conference Goalkeeper of the Year award twice.
Speaking to the Minnesota Star Tribune, Aurora club president Saara Hassoun said, “Aurora believes that everyone deserves an opportunity to play soccer, and we are glad that we are able to provide a safe environment for Isaac to continue his stellar career. Our players, coaches, and organisation are unified in welcoming Isaac to Aurora.”
Ranson has previously spoken publicly about his journey with gender identity. In an interview with The Big West last year, he shared that he struggled for years with accepting that he was transgender and queer. Ranson said he began embracing his identity during the summer of 2023.
