Grace McCatty (born 28 September 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Sunderland in FA Women's National League North. Prior to her move to the North-East with Durham, she featured eight times in the UEFA Women's Champions League for Bristol City.[1][2]

Playing career[edit]

Bristol City, 2006–2017[edit]

McCatty signed with Bristol City ahead of the 2011 FA WSL season. She made her debut for the senior squad during a match against Birmingham City L.F.C. on 14 April 2011.[3] She made 14 appearances during her first season with Bristol. The team finished in fifth place with a 4–6–3 record.[3] During the 2012 FA WSL season, Matthews made 11 appearances helping the team finish in fourth place with a 4–4–6 record.[3]

In 2014, McCatty played for Bristol in the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League.[4] Bristol was the only English team to make the quarterfinals where they were eliminated by eventual winners Frankfurt.[5] In 2015, she captained the team at the 2015–16 UEFA Women's Champions League.[6]

Durham, 2017–2018[edit]

After over 100 appearances and just more than ten years with Bristol City, McCatty departed to join fellow FA WSL 2 side Durham.[2]

Sunderland AFC, 2018-[edit]

McCatty joined former Durham team-mate Jordan Atkinson at Sunderland for the 2018-19 season.[7] She made her debut in a 2–1 away win at Bradford City in Sunderland's second game of the season.
