Forget rest for Catley

MATILDAS star Steph Catley has had four days off in 12 months.

On Monday it will be one year since the 2016-17 W League season started.

Since then the fullback has played 48 games 24 for Orlando Pride, 15 for Melbourne City and nine for the Matildas – and a total of 4280 minutes.

She’s now back playing for City in the 2017-18 W-League.

“Four days I had off,” she said. “And on my first day back here the coach, PK (Patrick Kisnorbo), made me run the beep test.”
