Her family, her fans, and the
Football Ferns national team in her native
New Zealand – defender Meikayla Moore reflects on the people who inspired her journey to
Liverpool FC
As a native New Zealander, far-flung travel has long been part of life for Meikayla Moore, a 24-year-old defender at Liverpool FC
Women. Playing with her local club from a young age, she knew a big move was inevitable if she wanted to play at the highest level.
“As a young girl, it was always something that I wanted to achieve,” she says. “In New Zealand, there isn’t a professional women’s league, so [moving] was always on the cards if I wanted to stay in the national setup and continue my career.”
