Australian defender Clare Hunt has left French club Paris Saint-Germain after less than a year to join Matildas teammate Charli Grant at Tottenham Hotspur.

Hunt has signed a three-year deal with Spurs in the Women's Super League.

"I was drawn to Spurs for the way they play, the club culture that is here and, for me, it feels like an environment where I can contribute," Hunt told Spurs' website.

The centre-back has become an integral part of the Matildas' defence since making her debut last year, starring at the Women's World Cup.

Hunt, 25, has just 23 caps to her name but is already one of Australia's locked-in starters.

She will be crucial to the Matildas' hopes of winning the 2026 Asian Cup on home soil.

Hunt joins several Matildas teammates — including Sam Kerr, Caitlin Foord, Alanna Kennedy, Mary Fowler, Steph Catley and Kyra Cooney-Cross — in England's top-flight league.

Hunt departs Paris Saint-Germain after just 22 appearances. She won a Coupe de France in her short stint at the club.
