Contents

Dumont has developed a reputation for excelling in penalty shootouts; [2] Dumont has been involved in five of the eight penalty shootouts that have happened in the A-League Women finals series, with Dumont's team emerging victorious in all five. [3]

Early life and biography

Dumont was born in 1992 in Sydney and was brought up on the Gold Coast, by her mother with two siblings. [4] [5] Her parents had separated when she was about nine years old. [4] Initially, she tried soccer but did not like it and played other sports: netball, athletics, softball and swimming, before returning to soccer by the age 12. [4] In 2013, Dumont qualified as a registered nurse. [6]

Club career

Early career

Dumont started her senior career with Palm Beach and Gold Coast before joining the W-League with Brisbane Roar, with whom she won three trophies and Sydney FC before joining Western Sydney Wanderers in 2016. [7]

Melbourne Victory

On 18 September 2017, Dumont joined Melbourne Victory. [8] Dumont missed the 2020–21 W-League season due to injury, [9] but re-signed with Melbourne Victory ahead of the 2021–22 A-League Women season. [10] In May 2022, Dumont was named the A-League Women Goalkeeper of the Year for the first time as Melbourne Victory won the 2021–22 A-League Women. Following the 2022–23 A-League Women season, Dumont left Melbourne Victory after joining Australian rules football club Hawthorn, with Melbourne Victory choosing not to retain her. [11] [12] [13] [14]

Central Coast Mariners

In November 2023, it was announced that Dumont returned to the A-League Women, joining Central Coast Mariners, who supported her dual code ambitions. [15] In August 2024, the club announced her departure. [16]

Perth Glory

Perth Glory announced the signing of Dumont on 8 October 2024, and will join the club at the conclusion of the 2024 AFLW season. [17] [18]

On 8 December 2024, Dumont became the first goalkeeper to reach 150 appearances in the A-League Women. [19]

International career

Dumont played eight games for the Australia U-17 side from 2006 to 2007. The goalkeeper had 15 games for the Australia U-20s from 2006 to 2011. She was first called up to a senior Matildas training squad in January 2010, ahead of the AFC Women's Asian Cup, held in China. [20] She remained on the substitution bench for all of Australia's games. [21] The Matildas won the final after a penalty shoot-out against North Korea. [22] She was also named to Australia's 2011 Women's World Cup squad. [23] However, due to mounting pain from misdiagnosed injuries Dumont missed the tournament with "severe osteitis pubis, multiple stress fractures, ligament and tendon damage of the pelvis and inflammation of hip sockets/joints". [24]

After recovering from her hip and lower back injuries, Dumont resumed her club career. She finally made her debut for the Matildas in a friendly against New Zealand in Auckland on 12 February 2015. [25] The keeper was subbed off for Brianna Davey after injuring her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the final minutes of the game. [25] [26] Dumont later recalled, "It was a freekick. I came up and punched the ball and New Zealand defender hit me – I struck my leg out and my leg hit the ground and hyper-extended and I felt it straight away. The pain was excruciating. I remember just laying there on the ground with the ball still in play and New Zealand scored because I was on the ground. And I remember feeling that this was supposed to be the best time of my life. I'd finally gotten a chance to play and I was injured." [4] She underwent a rehabilitation schedule and hence was unavailable for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada in June–July. [25]

Dumont was named to the 20-member Matildas squad for the 2016 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament's third round, which was held in Japan in February–March. [27] Coach Alen Stajcic explained her selection, "[she] has come back from her knee reconstruction. She’s still got a bit of a way to go to regain full fitness, but she has certainly worked hard over the past three months to get back into the squad." [28] After qualifying, Dumont was subbed on to replace fellow keeper Mackenzie Arnold in a friendly 2–0 win against New Zealand in May. [27] As the Olympic squad comprised 18 members, Stajcic cut her from the final roster. [29] [30]
