The Atlanta Dream have signed All-Star forward Jessica Breland to multi-year contract.

Breland is the second signing for the Dream in the past week after the team announced the signing of two-time WNBA Champion Renee Montgomery on Thursday.

“Jessica is a huge get for us,” Dream coach Nikki Collen said in a statement. “It was a hard decision for her to leave a place that was comfortable for her and take a chance on the Dream and me, but I am incredibly thankful for the chance to coach her. I believe she is a perfect fit for our up-tempo system. I can’t wait to see her in a Dream uniform.”
