Cortnee Vine

Footballer

Cortnee Vine made her professional football debut with Brisbane Roar on 25 October 2015, at just 16 years of age. She made seven appearances for the team during the 2015–16 W-League season.

She then went on to play with Western Sydney Wanderers and the Newcastle Jets in the A-League Women’s competition, and in 2020 found her home with Sydney FC. Cortnee now has her sights set on the USA having signed a 3-year contract with North Carolina Courage playing in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Not only has she made a significant impact in the local A-League Women competition, including being awarded Goal of The Year during the 2019 Dolan Warren Awards, but she also represented Australia playing in the under-20 national team before receiving the phone call of the lifetime!

Cortnee was selected to represent Australia playing with the Matildas in 2022 and made her debut against the Philippines in January at the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup. Having secured her place on the team for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Cortnee had the whole of Australia on their feet when she took the penalty to send the Matildas into the semi-finals. She is now embarking on her first Olympics, joining the squad in Paris for the 2024 Games.

When Cortnee isn’t playing football, she is studying at Torrens University, enjoys a good book, cracking the world of coding, and hanging out with her family, friends, and partner.
