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.

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.
