Claire Emslie 

Recently announced Melbourne City signing Claire Emslie brings along with her footballing pedigree rarely seen from foreign players in the W-League. 

Emslie scored Scotland's first ever Women's World Cup goal in June against England this year and boasts 25 caps for her national team. But it's not only her international expertise that makes her stand out from the crowd. 

The Scottish forward has blazed a path in the UK for the last three years in the FA Women's Super League with Bristol City and Manchester City, scoring 19 goals in 51 matches. 

Coming from a level of football that is seen as a step up from the W-League, and a destination that we want our Matildas to aspire to play at, Emslie's season at Melbourne City might just be a case study in European football we've never seen down under.
