Perth Glory have signed experienced Ninja A-League midfielder Hollie Palmer on an injury replacement contract.
The 23-year-old joins her third Ninja A-League club after stints at Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar where she amassed 80 league appearances between 2017 and 2024.
Palmer was a Young Matildas mainstay as she rose to prominence in the Ninja A-League, having played a key role in Australia’s 2019 AFC Under-19 Women’s Championship campaign.

The former Roar and City midfielder is expected to be added to Glory’s extended squad for this weekend’s interstate trip to face Newcastle Jets in Round 17 of the Ninja A-League season.
Glory head coach Stephen Peters says Palmer could have a significant impact on the club’s fortunes as his side prepare for the run home to the end of the regular season.
“It’s great to welcome a player of Hollie’s pedigree into the group,” Peters said said.
“She brings plenty of experience both in terms of the (Ninja A-League) and international football and will significantly bolster our midfield stocks during what is a vital stage of the season.
“Hollie has settled really well into the squad and we look forward to seeing her showcasing her talent in the coming weeks.”
