yeh NWSL not proving to be a very good place for game time for NZers. Even Katie Bowen could only get the odd minutes in her last season there. Tough league to break into as a young pro.

Some rumours on the forum that Fraser maybe in NZ at the moment. Both these clubs recruited in the last transfer window, seemingly pushing both Kiwis down the squad ranks. And Fraser has also been injured.

I'm not sure we can afford to buy Fraser back,lol! A cheap loan deal,maybe?.

These young players need to be playing though. I can't think of anything worse than being a moderately paid pro, doing lots of training, doing lots of travel ,but seeing next to no game time.

Yeah this is all great. Why can’t we let CJ loose in central mid areas to smash em up. Her paired with a technician like Fraser and Steinmetz would make a great combo. Then Barry or whoever else could go fullback.

Kate Taylor is doing well at Dijon in the French women's top tier (one of the top four women's leagues in Europe).
The French season starts a bit later - they are only four games into their season
Four games, four starts for Kate Taylor at Dijon:
New Zealand - K. Taylor - Profile with news, career statistics and history - Soccerway

They sit comfortably seventh on the table:
(one win , two draws and a loss - but that was to mighty Lyon):

Any word on Macey Fraser?
I see NWSL final regular season games are next weekend. Both Frasers Utah and Milley Cleggs RL team are outside the playoff spots atm.
Any chance of loan deals for these two to A League teams I wonder.
They both need to be playing and getting game time. I hope both are looking into it.

Blake's 2nd Championship goal for Durnham. Must be in Ferns contention when they next gather together.

For example regular Fern Jacqui Hand scored 1 goal for Lewes last season (who were relegated) also in the Championship.

Foster got 20 mins off the bench for Durnham who lost 1-2 to local rivals Sunderland. Kitching a full game for the winners.

I noticed Mackenize Arnold (Matildas keeper) was on the bench for Racing Louisville's opponents the Portland Thorns. Arnold with over 50 Matildas caps, showing it ain't easy to break through in the NWSL - her first season there I think.

Maybe Clegg can get a short term deal to one of the clubs in this new USA women's league (one Wisnewski is playing in), that is be played Autumn 2024 & Spring 2025. Some overlap with the NWSL (mostly a summer league) but some months when they don't overlap that Clegg could play in??

Niche Cache. Hopefully Paul Temple has chatted to Racing Louisville & Utah Royals.

Which begs the question... will we see Milly Clegg get her overdue debut in that game? Probably not. There’s a lot on the line there and this is not a club that rotates very often... as you can tell from Erceg’s minutes. Clegg wasn’t even on the bench for the Thorns match.

It’s not that Racing Lou averse to throwing inexperienced players in, it’s more that the inexperienced players that Clegg is competing with are college graduates (Emily Sears, Kayla Fischer, Reilyn Turner before she got traded) who are therefore in that 23-25yo age range whereas Clegg only turns 19yo in November. She’s way ahead of schedule and training at one of the highest levels. Game time might have to wait until next season though.

Just quietly, one avenue for her could be a loan to the A-League during the offseason – Racing recently loaned 25yo backup goalie Olivia Sekany to Brisbane Roar on a deal that expires in March so that she can be back in America for next season. It’s a possibility. Depending on fitness that might even be an option for Macey Fraser too.

At long long last.

Last game of the regular season, and dead rubber fixture, as Racing Louisville (9th) visit San Diego Wave (13th). RL will finish out of the playoff spots (top 8)

Emily Van Egmond starting for SD, and as per usual Abbey Erceg for RL.
Currently SD are up 3-1. Clegg on at 72 mins (2-1)

Utah Royals (10th) finished their season a few days ago. No Fraser.
She played 4 of their 26 NWSL league games, with 2 starts.

Seems like Temple on the Pod last week basically ruled out any Nix loan deals for NWSL players like Fraser or Clegg. The fact they would have to be back Stateside for their new season Feb-March next year just doesn't make it worth it. Apparently it's really only goal keepers that NWSL teams are loaning to ALW clubs.

Finished 3-1, San Diego. 
NZ summer holidays for Clegg and Fraser (sounds like she has been in NZ awhile already).

Hopefully many more mins for both in the NWSL in 2025.

Not the best league to go to as a youngster it seems.

Should be a reasonable standard, given Canada has been a strong nation in the women's game. Another new pro football league opportunity for young (and old) Kiwi players. Wonder what the pay is like.

Is a Dronegate joke in there somewhere no doubt
