- Charlotte Grant joins the Matildas defence
- Ange Postecoglou coaches the men’s team
- She will line up for Spurs this WSL season
Tottenham will have a very Matildas flavour in the Women’s Super League this season after Hayley Raso became the latest Australian to join the English club.
Raso’s move from Real Madrid to Tottenham was confirmed on Sunday evening, shortly after Clare Hunt’s arrival at the club from Paris Saint-Germain.
The pair join Matildas defender Charlotte Grant at Spurs, while Ange Postecoglou coaches the men’s team.
Australian Matildas star Hayley Raso has signed for Tottenham in the Women’s Super League
Raso will join Matildas defender Charlotte Grant in the Spurs squad for next season.
Raso, who announced in June that he was leaving Real Madrid, has signed with Tottenham until 2026 and will wear the number 8 shirt.
The 29-year-old made history last year when she became the first Australian to play for Real Madrid.
Raso scored four goals in 28 appearances in her only season there, and her struggles to secure a starting place convinced her to leave the Spanish powerhouse.
The speedy winger hopes to make her time at Tottenham much more successful and will have plenty of Australians to support her.
Raso is no stranger to the WSL, having played for both Everton and Manchester City.
On the international stage, Raso made her debut for the Matildas in 2012 and scored three goals at the 2023 Women’s World Cup as Australia reached the semi-finals for the first time.
He also played in the last two Olympic Games in Tokyo (2021) and Paris (2024).
