Hannah Elizabeth Blake (born 5 May 2000) is a professional footballer who plays for Durham and has represented New Zealand in association football at both age group and international level.[2]
During her time at college, starting in 2019, Blake played soccer for the Michigan Wolverines in the NCAA Division I, studying on a soccer scholarship. She graduated in late 2022 earning a Bachelor of Arts in communications and media together with a minor in business administration.[3] She felt the playing style was different, including a physical style of play. While playing, she used her international experience with New Zealand's national team to improve her game.[4]
From 2015 until 2019, Blake played for New Zealand club Three Kings United in the Lotto NRFL Women's Premier League.[3]
In January 2023, after graduating from college, Blake signed her first professional contract with A-League Women club Perth Glory, signing as an injury replacement player for Rylee Baisden until the end of the 2022–23 A-League Women season.[5] She scored on her debut in a 3–1 win against Western United in February.[6]
In August 2023, following the end of her contract at Perth Glory, Blake was signed by fellow A-League Women club Adelaide United.[7] In May 2024, Adelaide United announced that Blake departed the club.[8]
Blake was a member of the New Zealand U-17 side at the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan,[9] the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea,[10] and again at the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in France.
Blake made her senior début as a substitute in a 0–0 draw with Thailand on 25 November 2017.[11]
