Naroa Domenech, a former All‑Conference midfielder for the University of North Carolina, has officially signed a professional contract with CD Tenerife Femenino B, bringing her back to Spain after a productive stint in the United States.
A Decade of Transitions
The agreement marks the culmination of a ten‑year pattern in which former Charlotte players have transitioned to European club competition, with Domenech becoming the fifth such alum to secure a senior contract on the continent.
During the 2025 campaign she appeared in all 18 matches for Charlotte, starting 15 games and contributing six goals and three assists, including a memorable free‑kick in the season‑opening 2‑0 victory over UNCW on August 14.
Her impact extended beyond scoring; she recorded a pair of assists in a 4‑0 win over Tulsa and capped the regular season with the lone goal in a 1‑0 triumph at ECU, earning an American Weekly Award Honorable Mention on October 6 and selections to both the Third Team All‑Conference and CSC All‑Academic teams.
Before her U.S. chapter, Domenech honed her skills with SD Eibar and Asheville City Soccer Club, experiences that prepared her for the tactical demands of the Spanish second‑team environment.
Future Prospects
CD Tenerife Femenino B is entering its second season in the Federacion Canaria de Futbol, and the club’s sporting director welcomed Domenech’s arrival as a boost for depth and experience. The signing also underscores the growing pipeline between Charlotte’s program and European football, a trend that has seen players like Martha Thomas, Tash Hudson, Charlotte Harris, Emma Wakeman and Sinead Byrne pursue professional opportunities abroad.
