The Australian forward's prolific Melbourne City spell earns her a move to Merseyside, where she and Jutta Rantala are set to turbocharge the Toffees' attack.

Few debuts are as attention-grabbing as Holly McNamara's. The Australian forward announced herself with a cracker on her first outing for Melbourne City back in 2021, and frankly, she never stopped.
Across 65 appearances, she racked up involvement in a staggering 57 goals. That kind of output doesn't stay a secret for long.
Now she's traded the A-League for the Barclays Women's Super League, signing with Everton - a side that already knows how to sting on the break. Last season, the Toffees had the third-lowest average possession in the league yet topped the charts for goals from direct attacks.
McNamara's pace and knack for darting behind defensive lines should fit that blueprint like a glove, as WSL Football reports.
She won't be settling in alone. Jutta Rantala has also arrived at Goodison Park, joining from Leicester City. The Finn is renowned for her two-footed delivery - long diagonals, quick switches, the lot - and her ability to thread passes into McNamara's runs could prove a nightmare for WSL defences.
As if that weren't enough, Everton already boasted one of the league's strongest set-piece records last season. Rantala's proficiency in dead-ball delivery adds yet another dimension. Corners and free-kicks just became even more dangerous at Goodison Park.
Everton supporters are understandably buzzing. Two signings, two very different skill sets, one very clear plan: score more goals.
