A player that wears her heart on the sleeve, Clare Hunt won the fans’ hearts in her second season with the club with strong defensive displays and that was recognised by our Lilywhite fanbase, taking home Junior Supporters’ Player of the Season for 2025/26.
Clare was an ever-present in Martin Ho’s side until late February, 2026, playing every single minute in all competitions, before flying out with Australia for the Women’s Asian Cup throughout March. However, in the Matildas’ charge to the final of the competition, the defender picked up an injury on her right knee that would rule her out for the rest of the campaign.
The Australia international joined us from Paris St Germain ahead of the 2024/25 campaign and featured in 21 games in her maiden campaign, with 17 of those coming in the Women’s Super League.
