City sign Young Matildas goalkeeper Sally James

Melbourne City FC is excited to announce the signing of 18-year-old goalkeeper Sally James for the upcoming W-League season. One of the country’s brightest young goalkeeping talents, James endured a tough run with injury last season which limited her to just three W-League appearances. This wasn’t enough to hold the youngster back as she was called up to the Matildas Transition Camp in June 2021 which was held in Sweden.

Torpey: I want to bring the energy

A chance to play a new position and work under Head Coach Rado Vidosic were the major factors in Kaityn Torpey’s decision to swap Brisbane for Melbourne. Following a W-League debut at just 16, Torpey spent the first five seasons of her career at the Roar, but the time was now right to make the tough decision to move on and take up a new challenge. While last season may have been a blip, there’s no doubt the professionalism and success of the Club played a major role in the hard-working defender’s decision to join City.

Metcalfe: It’s been surreal

Sitting on less than 10 career A-League starts going into last season, the past nine months have panned out like something out of City midfielder Connor Metcalfe’s wildest dreams. The 21-year-old is now both an A-League Premier and Champion, a Socceroo, an Olympian, and a Harry Kewell Medallist. It sure has been a ‘pretty crazy’ ride for Metcalfe, who puts his breakout season down to staying fit, healthy, and having the consistency of playing week in, week out.
