She previously played for Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League, English FA WSL club Notts County and Canberra United in the Australian W-League. Corsie made her senior national team debut against France in March 2009 and has since amassed over 100 appearances for the national team.

Club career

[edit]

Glasgow City, 2008–2014

[edit]

In July 2008 Corsie joined Glasgow City from Aberdeen Ladies at age 18.[5] In her first season with City she contributed 10 goals as the club won a domestic treble.[6] She also featured in the UEFA Women's Champions League.[2]

In May 2012, Corsie made her 100th league appearance for Glasgow City. Of the milestone, Glasgow City head coach Eddie Wolecki Black said, "I think it shows remarkable consistently she has managed to rack up 100 starts for the club in such a short period of time. People tend to forget that Rachel is still only 22 years of age and is continuing to develop as a player."[7]

Notts County, 2014

[edit]

Corsie left Glasgow City for Notts County in January 2014, to fulfil her ambition of playing in England. She was attracted to playing at Meadow Lane and training full-time.[8] In January 2015 it was announced by Notts County Ladies that Corsie had chosen not to continue with the club for their forthcoming season. After a successful year at Notts where she was captain throughout the season, she had also been awarded Supporters Player of the Season and joint Managers Player of the Season. Many fans rated Corsie as the best centre back of the 2014 season.[9][10]

Seattle Reign FC, 2015–2017

[edit]

Corsie signed with American side Seattle Reign FC for the 2015 season of the National Women's Soccer League in January 2015.[11] Of her signing, Reign FC head coach Laura Harvey said, "Rachel is a terrific player who will bring depth and experience to our backline. She will make the entire defensive unit stronger by providing us flexibility we lacked last season. We are excited to have her with the club and know she will make an impact."[12]

Corsie was released by Seattle in January 2018.[13]

Loan to Glasgow City, 2015

[edit]

On 25 September Corsie re-joined Glasgow City on loan from Seattle Reign FC.[14]

Utah Royals FC, Kansas City NWSL 2018–2021

[edit]

On 19 March 2018, Corsie signed with Utah Royals FC.[15] Corsie appeared in all 24 games for Utah in 2018. She was named to the NWSL Team of the Month in July.[16]

Corsie returned to Utah for the 2019 NWSL season. She was named to the NWSL team of the Month for May. Corsie would miss several NWSL games due to her participation in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[17] She scored her first goal for the Royals on 19 July, her goal in the 90th minute helped Utah earn a 2–2 draw against the Portland Thorns. She moved with the team to Kansas City and was the captain before transferring to Aston Villa.

Loan to Canberra United

[edit]

Corsie signed with Canberra United for the 2018-19 W-League season.[18] Prior to the first game of the season, Corsie was named team captain.[19] Corsie played every minute of the season for Canberra, as they finished the season in 8th place and did not qualify for the playoffs.[20]

Loan to Birmingham City

[edit]

On 28 August 2020, Corsie signed on loan for Birmingham City until January 2021.[21] She missed the fall season of the National Women's Soccer League.
