Hometown Star, Addison Werth, Commits to USL W League Madison
Werth’s Offensive Excellence to Elevate Team’s Attack
MADISON, WI: USL W League Madison coaching staff signed Addision Werth, an accomplished UW-Milwaukee Panther forward, with a drive for success. Werth racked up a staggering 59 goals and 56 assists during high school career with the Oregon High School Panthers. USL W League Madison will look to her to bring that successful attacking mindset to Breese Stevens Field in 2026.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of local talent, Addison Werth, a player whose roots are right here in the Madison area,” said USL W League Madison Technical Director, Liz Lawrence. “After a very successful career at Oregon High School and currently playing at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Addison brings a truly dynamic presence to our team. Her exceptional speed and athleticism make her a constant threat to our attack.”
Werth had a breakout season in 2021 playing for the U16 Madison 56ers Red National Team and the Midwest Olympic Development Program where she racked up an incredible 45 goals and 28 assists on the season. She went on to make the Oregon High School Panthers Varsity team in her freshman year in 2022, tallying 16 goals, 14 assists, and helping lead the team to become State Champions and the No. 1 team in the country based on the United Coaches Poll. This was the first of three consecutive appearances for Werth at the WIAA Division 2 Championships. In 2024 she began her two-year captaincy for Oregon and scored the sole goal that brought the Panthers the State Championship title and earned her the Second Team Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association All-State and Wisconsin State Journal/WiscNews’ All-Area team awards. In the off-season, she guided the Madison 56ers club team to numerous league championships and a 2024 State Cup championship. Werth scored an impressive 16 goals and 11 assists during her 2025 senior year and was given the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches
Association Honorable Mention All-State award. She was also named First-Team All-Badger Conference for three years.
“Addison Werth brings an attack-focused mindset paired with top-end speed,” said USL W League Madison Head Coach, Giuliano Oliviero. “She’s highly effective in wide channels, turning the corner on defenders and providing quality, threatening service into the box.”
Werth currently plays for the UW-Milwaukee Panthers, where she continues to grow and hone her attacking threat. USL W League Madison will rely on Werth to both create and finish chances in the final third in their inaugural season.
“I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to play on the USL W Madison team,” said Werth. “Competing and developing at this level is something I’ve worked toward throughout my career, and getting to do it in my hometown makes it even more meaningful. I’m proud to represent Madison and to help build a strong women’s soccer culture here. I can’t wait to take this next step, grow as a player, and get started with the team!”
Werth’s addition bolsters an already formidable USL W League Madison roster. The club’s commitment to constant professional and personal development will ensure the team comes out of the gate as a force in their first year. Community members are invited to join the team for the brand launch on December 12th at the Sylvee. Learn more information about this free event here.
