The West Ottawa Soccer Club has named a former national hero its technical director.

Kristina Kiss, who played for Canada's women's national team at two World Cups and earned 75 caps for her country, assumes her new role immediately after working as WOSC club head coach and acting technical director.

"Through my years with the Club, I myself was fortunate to further develop personally and professionally," said Kiss. "I have continued to work hard on honing my football skills on and off the pitch, and am unreservedly convinced that I am ready to lead WOSC as the second largest soccer club in Canada to the next level."

West Ottawa also announced an affiliation agreement with Capital United FC on Monday.
