Clara Hoarau Joins Perth Glory for the 2023/2024 A League W Season

Perth Glory sign our talented teenager midfielder, Clara Hoarau for the A-Leagues Women’s squad.

Clara played recently in Glory’s recent pre-season friendly victory over the WA State Team at the new State Football Centre and has clearly impressed at training with Glory over the last month.

Our young gun is Melville through and through, having risen through our junior football leagues, both girls and boys, to playing NPLW the last 2 seasons as one of the youngest players in the NPLW squad.

“Clara is a very versatile midfielder who has a great skill set with and without the ball,” says Alex Epakis, Glory Coach.

Congratulations Clara!

Glory’s first game of the new Liberty A-League season will take place on Saturday 14 October when Western United will provide the opposition at Macedonia Park.

Kick-off is at 7pm and tickets are available HERE.
