Kaitlyn Torpey

Born in South Brisbane, Queensland, Torpey started playing football at the age of nine, having previously ventured into field hockey without success.

[18] Torpey made her debut for the Wave as a substitute on 15 March 2024 in an NWSL Challenge Cup victory against NJ/NY Gotham FC.

A lone goal from Alex Morgan lifted the Wave over their opponents in the one-game competition, giving Torpey an opportunity to immediately celebrate a title with her new club.

[21][22] Torpey missed several months of 2024 club play due to international duty and a lower leg injury, but returned to NWSL action in late September.

[23] She scored her first goal with the Wave on 1 October 2024 in a CONCACAF W Champions Cup victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite.

[26][27] In February 2024, Torpey received her first senior call up to the Australian national team for the 2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament third round against Uzbekistan.

[30][31] Teammate Mary Fowler and Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson praised Torpey's performance but targeted selfishness in front of goal as an area of improvement.
