Caitlin Jade Foord (born 11 November 1994) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Women's Super League club Arsenal and the Australia national team. She became the youngest Australian to play at a World Cup in 2011 at the age of 16.

In 2011, Foord was named World Cup Best Women's Young Player, Asian Women's Young Footballer of the Year, and Football Federation Australia's U20 Women's Footballer of the Year. In 2016, she was awarded Asian Women's Footballer of the Year by the Asian Football Confederation.

Early life

Raised with her sister Jamie by their mother Simone in Shellharbour, a suburb 100 kilometres south of Sydney in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Foord attended Illawarra Sports High School.[2] Her mother would frequently drive Foord three-four hours round-trip to Sydney for training and games:[3] "She'd pick me up straight after school and drive me to Sydney Olympic Park and back four times a week for training – and again on the weekend for a game."[4] Her sister Jamie recommended to their mother to let Caitlin try football after seeing her play on the playground at school with boys. "She was just doing so many sports. We took her down and signed her up for the Warilla Wanderers ... I think in the first game she scored six goals."[2] Foord was the only member of her family to play football.[3]

Foord played for local teams Illawarra Stingrays and the Sutherland Sharks before spending some time at the New South Wales Institute of Sport.[5] In 2009, she was named Junior Sports Star of the Year at the Shellharbour Sports Awards.[5] She also played futsal for the NSW Under 13 team who competed in the Australian Championships in Canberra.[5] At age 13, she earned her first cap for Australia's under-17 national team.[6]

Foord grew up watching the National Rugby League (NRL).[7]

Club career

Central Coast Mariners (2009)

At the age of 14, Foord signed with Central Coast Mariners ahead of the 2009 W-League season, but did not play in a match for the club.[8][9][10]

Sydney FC (2010–14)

With the announcement that the Central Coast Mariners would not field a women's team in the 2010–11 W-League season, Foord, along with fellow Mariners players Teresa Polias, Lydia Vandenbergh, and Renee Rollason, switched to nearby club, Sydney FC.[11] Foord spent four straight seasons with Sydney FC, where she appeared in 44 games and scored 10 goals.[12][13]

Foord scored her first goal for Sydney FC during a 4–1 win against Adelaide United on 20 November 2010.[12] It was her only goal during the 2010–11 season. She was a starting player in 10 of the 11 games she played.[12] Sydney finished first in the league with a 8–2–0 record.[14]

During the 2011–12 W-League season, Foord started in five of the eleven matches she played and scored two goals.[12] On 12 November, she scored a goal in a 4–1 win against Newcastle Jets, pouncing on an errant back pass from the Jets defence and coolly slotting the ball into goal.[15] Sydney FC finished third during the regular season with a 5–3–2 record.[16]

Returning to Sydney for the 2012–13 W-League season, Foord scored three goals in eleven matches.[12] During a match against Melbourne Victory on 8 December, she scored the game-opening goal in the fifth minute.[17] Sydney finished in fourth place during the regular season with a 6–4–2 record.[18] After defeating Brisbane Roar 3–2 in the semi-finals, Foord helped Sydney FC clinch the championship title with a 3–1 grand final win against Melbourne Victory.[19]

During the 2013–14 W-League season, Foord scored four goals in eleven matches for Sydney FC.[12] After sitting out many of the early season matches due to a foot injury, she scored a hat trick against Perth Glory in an 8–2 win on 5 January.[20] Sydney FC finished in second place during the regular season with a 8–2–2 record.[21] The team was eliminated in the semi-finals in a 2–1 defeat against Canberra United.[22]

Sky Blue FC (2013–15)

Foord defends against Washington Spirit player Stephanie Ochs, June 2013.

In March 2013, it was announced that Foord had signed with American team, Sky Blue FC, for the inaugural season of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[23][24] In 2013, she appeared in 15 games, helping Sky Blue to their only playoff appearance in club history. She was named to the 2013 NWSL Second XI Team.[25]

Foord returned to Sky Blue for the 2014 NWSL Season and was in the starting lineup for 20 of her 21 appearances. Sky Blue finished the season in sixth place.[12]

In February 2015, Foord agreed to return to Sky Blue alongside fellow Matildas teammate Sam Kerr. Due to the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, they did not join Sky Blue until July.[26][27] Foord appeared in the final 10 games of the 2015 NWSL season.[12] The team finished in eighth place with a 5–8–7 record.[28]

After being listed on Sky Blue's preseason roster for the 2016 NWSL Season, Foord did not participate in preseason training and did not play for Sky Blue during the 2016 season. In December 2016, it was reported that Foord would not play in the NWSL in 2017 as she was signing with a team in Japan.[29] Reports later emerged about poor long-term conditions for players in terms of housing, travel, and training facilities.[30]

Perth Glory (2014–16)

In August 2014, Foord signed a one-year deal to join Perth Glory for the 2014 W-League season.[31] In 12 appearances for Perth, Foord scored 5 goals.[12]

Foord re-signed with Perth of the 2015–16 W-League season. On 2 January 2016, Foord suffered a broken collar bone that required surgery. This injury ruled her out for the remainder of the season.[32]

Return to Sydney FC (2016–17)

On 13 September 2016, Sydney FC announced that Foord had re-signed, returning to the club where she had previously played for four seasons.[33] In 10 matches for Sydney during the 2016-17 W-League season, she played 766 minutes and scored 2 goals.[12]

Vegalta Sendai Ladies (2017)

In January 2017, Japan Women's Football League club Vegalta Sendai Ladies announced that the club had signed Foord on a one-year deal.[34] Foord scored four goals in 17 games for the club[35] and reported having a challenging time adapting to the unrelenting Japanese training schedule.[36]

Second return to Sydney FC (2017–20)

On 15 December 2017, after her season had concluded in Japan, Foord returned to Sydney FC and re-signed for the 2017-18 W-League season.[37] Foord scored 3 goals in 6 games and helped Sydney FC qualify for the playoffs. In the semi-final match against the Newcastle Jets, Foord suffered a ruptured Lisfranc ligament which required surgery. The injury forced her to miss the 2018 grand final against Melbourne City. Melbourne won the game 2–0.[38]

In the 2018–19 W-League season, Foord scored her second career W-League hat-trick on 9 December 2018 against the Brisbane Roar. Her three goals helped Sydney to a 5–1 victory, ending a three-game losing streak.[39]

Foord briefly returned to Sydney for the 2019–20 W-League season, scoring 2 goals in 9 appearances before leaving early to pursue an opportunity with Arsenal in January 2020.[40]

Portland Thorns (2018–19)

On 11 January 2018, Foord's rights in the NWSL were traded from Sky Blue to Seattle Reign FC for Katie Johnson and Rebekah Stott. Her rights were subsequently traded to the Portland Thorns FC along with a 2020 NWSL 2nd Round draft pick in exchange for US international midfielder Allie Long.[41] However, Foord was still playing in the W-League at the time and suffered a serious foot injury in the semi-final that required surgery.[42] As a result, she didn't make her debut for the Thorns until 6 August 2018.[12] On 14 April 2019, Foord scored her first goal for Portland, in a 2–0 win over Orlando Pride.[43]

On 8 January 2020, Foord's NWSL rights were traded to Orlando Pride along with Emily Sonnett and two draft picks in exchange for Orlando's No. 1 overall selection in the 2020 NWSL College Draft.[44]

Arsenal (2020–present)

On 24 January 2020, Foord left Sydney FC to sign for FA WSL club Arsenal, becoming the fifth Australian to move to the league during the 2019–20 season.[45] She made her debut for the club on 23 February 2020, scoring in a 2–0 FA Cup victory over second division club Lewes.[46] The following week, Foord made her second appearance, this time playing the full 90 minutes as Arsenal lost the 2020 FA Women's League Cup Final against Chelsea on 29 February.[47]

During the 2020–21 season, Foord scored a goal in the 60th minute of the team's 3–1 win against Bristol City.[48] On 18 October, she scored a brace against Tottenham Hotspur helping lift Arsenal to a 6–1 win.[49] She gained her 100th appearance for Arsenal against Bristol City on the 22 October 2023. Foord kicked four goals for her club during 2024–25 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifier against Rangers in September 2024, which they won 6-0.[50]
