Hayley Raso (born 5 September 1994) is an Australian soccer player, currently playing as a winger for W-League team Brisbane Roar. She has also represented Australia on four occasions, as well as playing for the under-20 side.

Raso began her senior career with Canberra United in 2011, and was part of the side that won the 2011–12 W-League. Having scored four goals in 17 league games, she switched to current club Brisbane Roar in August 2013.

Club career

Canberra United

Raso was invited to train with the Queensland Academy of Sport, but this did not result in her being awarded a scholarship.[1] Instead, after a successful trial, Raso signed for Canberra United during the 2011–12 W-League season.[2] She made seven league appearances for Canberra that season,[3] and was part of the squad that won the W-League following a victory over Brisbane Roar in the grand final.[1]

Raso remained with Canberra for the 2012–13 season, and scored her first senior goal in a 5–0 victory over Newcastle Jets on 27 October 2012.[4] She played for Canberra in the International Women's Club Championship, but despite scoring the second goal of her career, she was unable to prevent her team from losing 4–3 to NTV Beleza in the third-place playoff.[5] Raso ended the season having scored four goals in ten league games for Canberra.[3]

Brisbane Roar

Prior to the start of the 2013–14 season, Raso opted to return to Brisbane, and joined Brisbane Roar.[6] She made her debut for her new club against Canberra on 9 November, but was unable to prevent Brisbane from losing 3–0.[7] On 1 December 2013, she scored her first goal for Brisbane in a 4–1 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers.[8]

International career

In June 2012, Raso was called up to the Australian senior squad for the first time.[9] She made her debut on 24 June, in a 1–1 draw with New Zealand.[10] She was part of the Australian under-20 side at the 2013 AFF Women's Championship, and was part of the side that finished runner-up to Japan's under-23 side.[11] Following this, she returned to the senior side for the matches against China,[12] and played in the match held on 24 November.[13]
