Tottenham will have a big taste of the Matildas in the Women’s Super League this season, with Hayley Raso becoming the latest Australian player to join the English club.
Raso’s move from Real Madrid to Tottenham was confirmed on Sunday evening, following Clare Hunt’s move from Paris Saint-Germain to the club.
The duo join Matildas defender Charlotte Grant at Spurs, while Ange Postecoglou coaches the men’s team.

Raso, who announced in June that she would leave Real Madrid, has signed a contract with Tottenham until mid-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 games in her only season there, but her struggles to establish a starting position convinced her to leave the Spanish powerhouse.
The speedy winger hopes her time at Tottenham will be more successful and she will have plenty of Australians for company.
Raso is no stranger to the WSL, having played for both Everton and Manchester City.
On the international stage, Raso made her Matildas debut in 2012 and scored three goals at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, as Australia reached the semi-finals for the first time.
She also played at the last two Olympic Games in Tokyo (2021) and Paris (2024).
