Meikayla Jean-Maree Moore (born 4 June 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League and the New Zealand national team.[3]

Career

Moore was a member of the New Zealand U-17 side at the 2012 Women's World Championship, playing in all three of New Zealand's group games.[4]

Moore made her senior début for the Football Ferns as a substitute in a 4–0 win over China on 26 September 2013.[5]

She was part of New Zealand's squad at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[1]

In April 2019, Moore was named to the final 23-player squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup,[6] however while in France training before the tournament started, Moore snapped her Achilles.[7]

15 months later she had recovered enough from the injury to sign for Liverpool who play in the FA Women's Championship.[7][8]

On 20 February 2022, Moore scored a perfect hat-trick of own goals in a match for New Zealand against the United States at the SheBelieves Cup, all in the first half;[9][10] Moore is the first player footballer believed to have recorded a hat-trick of own goals which were not deliberate. Some sources mention that she is the second player to achieve this, after Stan Van den Buys with Germinal Ekeren who contributed by scoring three own goals for Anderlecht on 22 January 1995 in the Belgian first division, but this has not been confirmed because the third goal was scored by Johan Walem, who touched the ball before the ball cross the goal line.[11][12][13]

In June 2023, Ava Collins, Moore and Kate Taylor were named as reserve players for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[14] However, Moore declined to join the squad as a reserve player and Grace Wisnewski was called up as a reserve player instead of her.[15]
