Sally Kathleen James[2] is an Australian soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for A-League Women club Canberra United. She has represented Australia internationally on both the under-20 and senior national teams.
Early life
James was raised in Canberra.[3]
International career
James was a member of Australia women's national under-20 soccer team (Young Matildas), who played in all three of their group stage matches at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica.[4] Australia did not qualify for the knock-out stage. She joined the Australia U23 for the 2025 ASEAN Women's Championship, held in Vietnam in August.[5] She kept a clean sheet in her team's 9–0 win against Timor-Leste; Australia U23 later went on to win the championship.[5]
In 2025, James was added to the senior team's extended squad for two friendlies against South Korea in Sydney and Newcastle, following an injury to Mackenzie Arnold. She is still yet to debut for the senior team, however.[6]
