Ella Mastrantonio

Ella is a professional football player who currently plays for Bristol City in the FA Women’s Super League (WSL). One of Australia’s most experienced footballers, she was a member of Perth Glory’s inaugural W-League squad during the 2008/09 season.

Initially capped by Australia at U-17 level in 2007, her impressive performances in Green and Gold saw her promoted into the Senior Matildas squad in 2008, as she participated in both the 2008 AFC Asian Cup and AFF Women’s Championships (scoring her maiden national team goal in the latter tournament).

Ella became a fan favourite at hometown club Perth Glory by spending six of the first eight W-League seasons commanding the Glory’s midfield. Additionally, she has had three separate stints at Melbourne Victory before joining the Western Sydney Wanderers in the 2019-20 W-League season.

A veteran of over 100 W-League appearances, Ella secured her first move overseas in 2020 when she joined a healthy contingent of her countrywomen in the WSL, where she has been an important component of the Vixens’ squad.
