NEW YORK (Reuters) -Two-time World Cup winner Christen Press will retire at the end of the NWSL season, her club Angel City said on Wednesday, leaving a legacy as one of the United States' most prolific and resilient attackers.

The 36-year-old is among the United States' all-time leading scorers, with 64 goals and 155 international caps, and was a key figure of the U.S. national team's modern golden age alongside the likes of Carli Lloyd and Megan Rapinoe.
