Stephanie-Elise Catley was born on January 26, 1994, and is age 29 years old. She is the daughter of Australian parents and was raised in Melbourne. She is famous as a professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Arsenal and the Australian national team.
Catley can play in many positions in defense, such as left-back, center-back or sweeper. She previously played for Reign FC, Orlando Pride, and Portland Thorns FC in the American National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) as well as Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City in the Australian W-League.

Born and raised in Melbourne by her mother Lesley and her father Stephen, she joined her first soccer team at age six. She was the only girl in the East Bentleigh FC squad, the same team her older brother Daniel had played on.
She noted, “I fell in love with the game and with the idea of making myself the best footballer that I could be. I trained by myself, with my brother and with the other boys in the team until I made my first representative team.” At age 13, she started playing for Sandringham, one of the largest soccer clubs in Victoria. When she was 15, Catley made her first state team and was chosen for the under-17 national team.
Catley was selected for the Australian women’s football Matildas soccer team which qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
