Rahul SahaSamantha May Kerr is an Australian professional football player who plays for the Chelsea FC women’s team in the FA Women’s Super League and the Australian national women’s football team.
Kerr is arguably one of the greatest forwards of all time — and she’s not even 30 years old yet. She is the only player to have won the Golden Boot award in three different continents, while she has also been the top goalscorer for both her national team and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the US. Known for her skill, speed and tenacity, Kerr is a complete forward and one of Australia’s greatest-ever players.
In this article, we look at her sponsorship and brand endorsement deals.
