Perth Glory have signed young Western Australian goalkeepers Miranda Templeman and Jessica Skinner ahead of the 2024-25 Liberty A-League season.
Templeman joins her hometown club having spent the past three seasons at Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory.
The 21-year-old made her Liberty A-League debut for the Reds in 2022 before a two-season stint at Victory where she made a further four appearances.

The ex-Adelaide and Victory shot-stopper is joined at Glory by 17-year-old Skinner, a regular Young Matildas squad member whose early career has been highlighted by an accomplished stint at NPLW WA side Hyundai NTC.
Glory’s Liberty A-League squad has been severely impacted by two key goalkeeping departures: Morgan Aquino, who won the club’s Most Glorious Player award last season after an outstanding individual campaign, and Sally James who returned home to Canberra United.
New Glory head coach Stephen Peters said the club are bringing in one more goalkeeper to the squad before the start of the season and is excited to see what his goalkeeping union can produce.
“Along with another goalkeeper that we have coming in, Miranda and Jessica will form an exciting goalkeeping unit and drive each other to be the best versions of themselves each and every day,” he said.
“The fact that they have both represented Australia at junior level demonstrates their undoubted potential and we look forward to seeing them continue to develop in the coming months.
“It is fantastic to bring two such talented local players into our squad.”
