Tottenham have signed Hayley Raso on a two-year deal subject to international clearance and a work permit.
The Matildas forward joins Tottenham as a free agent having spent last season with Liga F side Real Madrid, where she played 28 times and became the first-ever Australian to represent the Spanish side.
The 29-year-old has featured 82 times for Australia, scoring 19 goals and helped her country reach the Women’s World Cup semi-finals with three goals before they were knocked out by England.
We are delighted to announce the signing of Hayley Raso, subject to international clearance and work permit. ✍️
Welcome to Spurs, Hayley! 🤍

Raso returns to the Women’s Super League following previous spells with Everton in 2020 and Manchester City in 2021, helping them lift the Women’s League Cup.
Raso will wear the number eight shirt for Spurs who will be looking to improve their sixth-placed finish last season.
The Australian could make her WSL debut when Tottenham play league newcomers Crystal Palace in their first game of the season on September 22.
