WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE
By BLAKE METCALF-HOLT
WHILE Moe’s Teagan Micah is doing battle for the Matildas at the international ranks, she will be taking her talents elsewhere at club-level after being let go by Liverpool.
The Women’s Super League club made the announcement in May that Micah, alongside Yana Daniels and Jasmine Matthews, would not be resigned at the end of their contacts.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper arrived at Anfield to begin the 2023/24 season, in the midst of Australia’s Women’s World Cup run (hosted by the nation and New Zealand), but only managed seven league appearances in her first year at the club.
She was expected to see further opportunity in her second season, but suffered a minor ankle injury last February, keeping her out of the side for the remainder of the year.
Micah made 19 appearances for Liverpool in all forms of competition, keeping six clean sheets over the course of that time.
She is expected to receive offers from clubs across Europe ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Former Matilda Ashleigh Sykes has suggested that the recently promoted London City Lionesses would be a perfect destination for Micah.
“I’m surprised she didn’t get more opportunities for Liverpool, they’ve gone for (Rachael) Laws over Micah, but Micah is a better goalkeeper overall,” Sykes said on Optus Sport program, The Women’s Football Wrap.
“I’m hoping she lands on her feet somewhere else that appreciates her talent.
“Hopefully there’s another club like London City Lionesses, who are looking for a goalkeeper, that she can step into and help out in the WSL next season.”
Micah has seen an increased role for the Matildas during their SheBelieves Cup campaign, with first-choice goalkeeper and Australian sporting icon Mackenzie Arnold recovering from an injured foot.
As Australia build towards the Women’s World Cup in 2027 (hosted in Brazil), Micah played seven matches from late February against USA to Thursday, June 26 against Slovenia.
While the Matildas lost its first two matches with Micah starting (the opener being against a US national side that achieved the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics), they then won their last five games before Arnold returned, including four clean sheets for the former Moe United Soccer Club junior.
