Meghan Archer (born 9 October 1987) is an Australian soccer player who formerly played for Melbourne Victory in the W-League.
Archer was born and raised in Devonport, Tasmania where she began playing soccer at a young age, notably scoring 25 goals for Devonport City as a 16-year-old in the 2004 Northern Premier League.[citation needed] In the same year, Meghan competed for Tasmania in the Under-17 National Championships, where she was identified as one of the players of the tournament, and invited by then NTC coach Harry Chalkitis to train with his squad in Melbourne.[citation needed]
After securing an NTC squad position, Archer relocated to Melbourne in 2005, where she played for Heidelberg United in the Victorian Premier League,[1] making a total of 65 appearances and scoring 19 goals in her first three seasons at the club.[citation needed] In 2005, she appeared for Victoria Vision in what was the final season of the WNSL, scoring 3 goals in 5 games. In 2006, she won the Jane Oakleigh Award for Outstanding Achievement with the NTC, and was called up for training camps with the Young Matildas in 2005 and 2006 respectively. [2][3]
Archer scored the second goal in Heidelberg United's 3-2 victory over Box Hill Inter in the Grand Final of the 2007 Victorian Premier League.[citation needed] She transferred to Ashburton in 2008, but after 4 goals in 7 appearances, returned to Heidelberg United, helping the club to its third successive grand final appearance.[citation needed]
In 2008, Archer was selected by the Melbourne Victory for the inaugural season of the W-League.[4]
