Morgan Aquino is an Australian soccer player who plays goalkeeper for Perth Glory in the A-League Women.
Aquino started playing football alternating between goalkeeper and striker. She was scouted by then Western Australia state coach Elisa D'Ovideo, who selected her for the under-13 state team. [1]
Aquino started her professional career at her hometown club of Perth Glory, but did not make an appearance until January 2020, coming on as a half time substitute against Western Sydney Wanderers. [2] She made three appearances before signing for Brisbane Roar for the 2020–21 season. [3]
Aquino returned to Perth Glory the following season having made four appearances for the Roar, on a long-term deal. [4] From then on, she started making more regular appearances for the club, sharing goalkeeping duties with her fellow goalkeepers Courtney Newbon and Sarah Langman. [5]
Having established herself as Perth's first choice goalkeeper, Aquino went on to have a breakout season during the 2023–24 campaign. She played in every game and made a record 126 saves with a save percentage of 81.1%, which was the most of any goalkeeper in the league. [6] Her efforts this season earned her a place in both the PFA and A-League Women's teams of the season.
Aquino has been called up to the Junior and Young Matildas squads, [7] [1] and featured at the 2019 AFC U-19 Women's Championship. [8]
On 15 May 2024, Aquino was called up to the U-23 Matildas squad for the upcoming Four Nations Tournament in Sweden. [9]
