Megan Rapinoe is making moves as television producer, with her production company developing a television series of the soccer romance novel 'Cleat Cute'.
The 38-year-old Rapinoe brought the curtain down on her hugely successful soccer career last year and it appears life away from the field will see her move into the television industry.
The two-time World Cup winner made the announcement on Instagram alongside her wife, Sue Bird, who shares production company 'A Touch More' with the soccer star.
The novel, a USA Today bestseller written by Meryl Wilsner, is based on a story of a young soccer player who becomes romantically involved with her team captain.
'Having spent most of our lives on teams, we want to celebrate the ways in which relationships, both romantic and platonic, are organically created through sports,' Rapinoe and Bird said in a joint statement.
