Stephanie-Elise "Steph" Catley (born 26 January 1994) is an Australian football player currently playing for Orlando Pride of the NWSL as a defender. She is also playing for Melbourne City FC and the Matildas.
A talented youngster who played for the South East Cougars in Football Federation Victoria's Victorian Champions League program, Catley made her senior debut at a young age; playing Perth Glory at only fifteen years of age in October 2009.
Playing predominantly in the midfield, Catley was a key figure in a young team and scored her maiden goal in her second season as she scored an equaliser three days before her birthday against Perth Glory in January 2011.
Catley has already made over 50 appearances for Melbourne Victory. She will again lead the club in next season's W-League following a successful stint with NWSL outfit Portland Thorns.
Following a switch to defence for the 2011/12 season, Catley had her most impressive season to date and was rewarded by winning Female Footballer of the Year.
At the end of the 2013–14 W-League season, Catley signed with NWSL team Portland Thorns.
On 17 September 2015, Melbourne City announced they had signed Catley for the 2015–16 W-League season.
On 10 December 2015, The Portland Thorns announced they had traded Catley to the Orlando Pride in exchange for goalkeeper Adrianna Franch and a 3rd round pick (#21) in the 2016 NWSL College Draft, which was used to select Arizona State Sun Devils defender McKenzie Berryhill.
