Due to a legal dispute with a former team owner, the season of the US professional league WPS was canceled, which is why Naeher announced her return to the 1st FFC Turbine Potsdam on February 1, 2012. With Turbine she became German champion in 2012.

On June 1, 2013 it was announced that Naeher would join the Boston Breakers' NWSL franchise, which had been newly established a few months earlier .
