With a number of new faces joining our Westfield W-League squad in the off-season, we thought we’d get to know a few of the them.
She’s been banging in goals left, right and centre since arriving in WA off the back of a stellar rookie season in the National Women’s Soccer League with Orlando Pride, so it’s high time we found out a little more about our in-form American forward, Rachel Hill.
1. Hill was born in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, on the 17th April 1995.
2. Rachel’s Instagram and Twitter handle is @r_hill3.
Excited for my journey to Australia… but even more excited to be a part of @PerthGloryWomen this season!
