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 second footballer believed to have recorded a hat-trick of own goals which were not deliberate, after Stan van den Buys.[11]

In June 2023, Ava Collins, Moore and Kate Taylor were named as reserve players for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[12] However, Moore declined to join the squad as a reserve player and Grace Wisnewski was called up as a reserve player instead of her.[13]
