So that’s what we’ve done. Come with us as we take a look at all the Aussies currently playing in the Women’s Super League in 2025.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Aussies in the WSL 2025</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Sam Kerr (Chelsea)</h3> <p>Easily the most recognisable name on this list, Sam Kerr is not just one of the best players in Australia, she is one of the best in the entire world.</p> <p>Kerr plays for perennial WSL powerhouse Chelsea where she has to date scored 59 goals in 76 WSL appearances, won two Golden Boots and five league titles.</p> <p>In 2023, Kerr was runner up in the Ballon d’Or Feminin, meaning she was one step removed from being officially named the best female footballer on the planet.</p> <p>The 32-year-old striker recently returned from a devastating ACL injury that kept her sidelined for 20 months,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/soccer-news/sam-kerr-scores-100th-goal-for-chelsea-in-acl-return-game">scoring her 100th goal in all competitions for the Blues</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Mary Fowler (Manchester City)</h3> <p>Easily the biggest rising star in Australian football at the moment, Mary Fowler continues to go from strength-to-strength.</p> <p>She has established herself as a key cog in both the Matildas and Manchester City machines. She is also one half of Aussie sports latest power couple, with NRL ace Nathan Cleary.</p> <p>With her current trajectory in the WSL, it’s hard to see Mary Fowler going anywhere other than the very top.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Ellie Carpenter (Chelsea)</h3> <p>After a wildly successful five-year stint with French giants Lyon that yielded four league titles and two Champions Leagues, Australian superstar Ellie Carpenter signed for Chelsea in the WSL.</p> <p>One of the Matildas’ biggest assets, it’s no surprise Chelsea snapped up Carpenter as soon as they could.</p> <p>She has made 84 appearances for the Tillies already despite still only being 25 years of age.</p> <p>If her recent debut for the Blues is anything to go by, the sky is the limit for Ellie in London and she could form a lethal combination with Sam Kerr, just as she has done at international level for Australia.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Caitlin Foord (Arsenal)</h3> <p>After bursting onto the scene for the Matildas at age 16, 13 years later Caitlin Foord now finds herself at one of the biggest clubs in the WSL.</p> <p>When she became the youngest Australian to ever play at a world cup as well as winning Young Player of the Tournament in 2011, it was clear that Foord was destined for the very top.</p> <p>After a globe-trotting career to date which has included stints Down Under, in Japan and the US, the Aussie forward now finds herself a mainstay on the red side of North London.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Steph Catley (Arsenal)</h3> <p>The Aussie influence continues at Arsenal, with versatile defender Steph Catley also on the Gunners books.</p> <p>Like Foord she signed on in 2020 and has gone on to make 84 appearances for the club so far.</p> <p>Capable of playing anywhere in the backline, Catley was named Australia’s PFA Women’s Player of the Year in 2020 and is a key part of the Tillies still to this day.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Kyra Cooney-Cross (Arsenal)</h3> <p>Completing the hat-trick of Aussies at Arsenal is midfielder Kyra Cooney-Cross. After impressing for Hammarby IF in Sweden, Cooney-Cross moved to North London in 2023.</p> <p>The 23-year-old Matilda quickly established herself in the middle for the Gunners and has made 33 appearances and counting in all competitions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Charlotte Grant (Tottenham)</h3> <p>Ange Postecoglou may have left Tottenham Hotspur, but there is still an Aussie or two in North London that wear white.</p> <p>One of those is 23-year-old defender Charlotte Grant. Signing on for Spurs at the start of 2024, Grant has slowly but surely worked her way into the first team and looks primed to have a big future in the WSL.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Clare Hunt (Tottenham)</h3> <p>Joining Charlotte Grant at Spurs is fellow Aussie Clare Hunt. Signing six months after Grant, Hunt was previously at French giants Paris St Germain before her switch to North London.</p> <p>Despite playing as a centre-back, she has already scored twice in 17 appearances, with both goals coming against Liverpool.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Alanna Kennedy (London City)</h3> <p>Able to play in both the backline and the midfield, the super versatile Alanna Kennedy has been playing the Women’s Super League for the past five years.</p> <p>First with Tottenham Hotspur and then with Manchester City and now with the London City Lionesses, Kennedy has more than 50 WSL appearances to her name.</p> <p>On the international stage she has been a stalwart of the Matildas side, earning 139 caps and counting, since debuting in 2012 aged just 19.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Clare Wheeler (Everton)</h3> <p>Originally joining the Toffees on loan in 2022, Wheeler impressed the higher ups at Everton enough to convince them to sign her on a permanent basis.</p> <p>At age 27 and entering the prime of her career, Wheeler has started becoming a regular for the Tillies and even made her maiden Olympics appearance for the Green and Gold this year in Paris.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Katrina Gorry (West Ham)</h3> <p>While most of the Aussie contingent in the Women’s Super League in 2025 are still in the first half of their careers, Katrina Gorry is here to show a Green and Gold veteran can still mix it up at the highest level.</p> <p>Despite playing for nine different clubs throughout her career, Gorry’s current spell at West Ham United is her first for a WSL club.</p> <p>Joining the Hammers at the start of 2024, it wasn’t long before the experienced midfielder was named captain of the club.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Charlize Rule (Brighton)</h3> <p>From one of the most experienced Matildas to one of the least, Brighton and Hove Albion defender Charlize Rule has to date only made a solitary appearance for her country.</p> <p>That is largely due to age and injury. The 23-year-old signed for Brighton in 2023, but missed all of 2024 through injury.</p> <p>Now fully fit and finding her feet, Charlize is ready to Rule the WSL along with her fellow compatriots.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Fancy a flutter on the Women’s Super League?&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/ladies/english-wsl">Check out our WSL markets and odds.</a></p>
