DETROIT — Today, Detroit City Football Club continued its roster rollout for the 2025 USL W League season, the club’s fourth in the W League. Goalkeeper Charlotte Huggard and midfield/forward hybrids Kate Robinson and Madelyn Rousseau will join the roster for Le Rouge this summer.
A native of Plymouth, Michigan, goalkeeper Charlotte Huggard originally committed to Purdue University out of Plymouth High School, where she was redshirted in the 2023 season. Huggard enrolled at Purdue early and trained with the team during the spring exhibition season. In 2024, Huggard transferred to Marquette University, where she made her collegiate soccer debut with just minutes remaining against Mercyhurst in September 2024. Her first collegiate start came six weeks later in a 2-1 win against Providence in a match that saw her make six saves. Huggard has transferred to the University of Nebraska Omaha for the 2025 season.
Kate Robinson joins Le Rouge after her second season at Eastern Michigan University, playing a hybrid role between midfield and attack. The Madison Heights native has appeared in 36 matches for Eastern Michigan, starting in 33. In 2023, Robinson scored twice while earning an assist on seven goals, one of which was a game-winning goal at Central Michigan on 9/21/23. Robinson was named the MAC’s Freshman of the Year for the 2023 season, becoming just the fourth Eastern Michigan player to earn this award, and first since 2016.
Madelyn Rousseau joins Detroit City FC for the 2025 USL W League season as she prepares for her first season at the University of Toledo, following a 2024 season at Michigan State University, where she did not see any game time. The Windsor, Ontario, Canada native finished her senior High School soccer season with 22 goals and 15 assists. Rousseau also played volleyball and track and field in High School.
Stay tuned to Detroit City FC’s social channels as more roster news and information about David Dwaihy’s coaching staff are released every day this week. The season kicks off this Saturday, May 17, at Pioneer High School against longtime foe AFC Ann Arbor.

Detroit City Football Club continued its roster rollout for the 2025 USL W League season, the club’s fourth in the W League. Joining the roster for Le Rouge this summer are defender Mira Webster, and forwards Kayla Rollins and Abby Werthman.
Defender Mira Webster, a native of Whitby, Ontario, Canada, joins Le Rouge following a season on the sidelines for Western Michigan University, after being granted a medical redshirt for the 2024 campaign. Before 2024, Webster has three seasons of collegiate soccer under her belt for the Broncos, appearing in 52 matches, starting 49 between 2021 and 2023. Webster played a key role in the squad’s first-place finish in the 2023 MAC regular season with a record of 8-0-3. Webster appeared and started in 19 matches, totalling 1710 minutes of play in the Bronco backline. Although a defender, Webster is no stranger to picking up assists, earning six in her three seasons at Western Michigan.
Webster isn’t the only Western Michigan Bronco to join Le Rouge in 2025, with teammate and Livonia, Michigan native Abby Werthman also suiting up for Detroit City FC this summer. Werthman is fresh off a red-hot season for Western Michigan University, scoring 12 goals and assisting nine. Werthman’s 12-goal season in 2024 is the second most in a season in Broncos history. In 2023, Werthman scored five and assisted five in 1080 minutes of play. Prior to joining Western Michigan, Werthman spent three seasons at Madonna University, where she scored 31 goals and assisted 10 between 2020 and 2022.
Forward Kayla Rollins will also join the squad for the 2025 season after playing four strong seasons at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Rollins caught fire on the pitch her last two seasons in Milwaukee, scoring 12 goals in 2023 and 18 goals in 2024. Her 2024 tally saw her finish the season by scoring 12 goals in the final eight matches. Her haul of 18 goals was the most by a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee player in over a decade, and she finished just two goals away from scoring the most in all of the NCAA for 2024. Her time at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee ends with 41 goals and nine assists in 79 matches played, 51 started. Rollins averaged a goal contribution every 83 minutes during her collegiate career.
