SHEA CONNORS

A-LEAGUE WOMENS FOOTBALL

Lets talk about moving for Sport. Not many athletes have moved more than Shea.

Shea Connors is an American Football (Soccer) player who has spent the past the majority of her professional career playing in Australia’s A-League Womens competition with both the Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC, but moving from Brisbane to Sydney hasn’t been her only move.

Shea left home in Connecticut at just 18 to move to New York, followed by a stay in Iceland, before starting her career in Australia. It’s always hard to be away from family, but modern technology definitely helps.
