Rafaelle may have only been at the club since January 2022, but she’s already made a big impact.

A ball-playing defender with natural Brazilian flair, Rafa can do it all. From crunching tackles and towering headers, to nutmegs and mazey runs, it didn’t take long for the captain of Brazil to capture the hearts of our fans at Meadow Park.

Rafa spent five years in China prior to making the move to north London, but now she’s ready to take Europe by storm for the first time in her career. She’ll be more confident than ever before too, after captaining Brazil to success in the 2022 Copa America.
