[5] She graduated from Humboldt State with a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife.[ citation needed ]

Club career

In March 2021, Talbert signed with her first professional club, FHingar, the women's football department of the Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar multi-sport club.[ citation needed ] The team finished the season 11-3-4 with Talbert recording 46 saves in goal. [6] After playing for FHingar, Talbert trained with the West Ham United women in London from September to December 2021.[ citation needed ]

In January 2022, Talbert joined Sport Lisboa e Benfica, commonly known as Benfica, a Portuguese women's football team based in Lisbon that plays in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino. In her year and a half at Benfica, she played in 23 matches and won two Campeonato Nacional Feminino [7] [ unreliable source ] titles, the League Cup (Taça da Liga Feminina), [8] [ unreliable source ] and the Portuguese Super Cup (Supertaça de Portugal Feminina). [9] [ unreliable source ] [10] Talbert was elected by the Players Union as the best goalkeeper of the 2021/22 Liga BPI. [11] Her contract ended with Sport Lisboa e Benfica, on June 30, 2023.[ citation needed ]

In August 2023, Katelin signed with West Ham United Women Football Club, an English women's football club affiliated with West Ham United. [12] The club plays in the Women's Super League, the top tier of English women's football. Talbert was immediately sent out on loan to Swedish side Djurgårdens IF in a bid to accumulate the points needed to meet Governing Body Endorsements [GBE] requirements for the International Sportsperson visa. [13] [14] She made nine appearances for the club in the Damallsvenskan, helping The Blue Stripes to avoid an end of season relegation play-off. [15] In June 2024, Katelin was transferred back to West Ham United.[ citation needed ]

Playing style

Katelin rarely if ever gets beat by any shot from distance & is considered highly athletic often making highlight reel saves. Her style has been compared to that of former USWNT GK Hope Solo. Katelin is often described as aggressive and fearless and will come off her line quickly to challenge shooters. Checking in at 6', she is dominant in the air on balls into the box from corners and set pieces. Katelin is equally adept with balls at her feet and can play accurately and comfortably with either foot which was a heavy focus from her time at Benfica playing balls out of the back. Katelin will also consistently punt/kick balls 60+ yards when required. Katelin has at every club she's played for tested out at the top or near the top of the club's fitness, agility and strength testing for both field players & goalies as she takes her fitness and health very serious. Katelin also picked up the nickname "The American Machine" from her time in Portugal with Benfica.
