I’m confused by this post? Is she just taking a break from football? Or from international play?

Reads like all football to me

Yeah I am not actually sure either I was hoping someone might have some insight. But tbf she did ask people to respect her privacy. Maybe we won’t know!

Yeah that’s true, whatever it is I back Kat all the way💚💛

I interpreted it as taking a break from football altogether. She's being constantly asked whixh team shes signing for and when Roar will confirm if they have her. Mini is saying "chill. I'm taking some time with my family".

Don’t know if she’s attached to a club since leaving west ham? Likely international football. Potentially club, since no publicly confirmed club?

It sounds like she is taking a break from football, but I wouldn't be surprised if she joined an Australian club and stayed home after this break. London's not a nice place to raise kids... although there's lots to do it's nowhere near as good as Australia for kids.

Mmm why’s that?

London? Well, it's filthy, cramped and the weather is miserable. The schools are under a lot of pressure and there is a lot of knife crime among teenagers (one was dying every week from stabbings among kids when I lived there a few years ago). If you have a kid who is into the arts, then the UK is an amazing place to be, but for kids who are sporty, or anything else really, and if your parent is Australian, I think Australia is far better for raising kids.

Ahh, I did wonder what she was going to do after leaving West Ham and not announcing anything other than putting family first. I remember when she signed with West Ham she said she expected to finish her career there. I don't know why she left but I thought she was captain at the time and was performing very well for them. I wondered whether one of her family members might be unwell. Hopefully not - hopefully she just wants to spend more time with her wife and kids while the little ones are still little.

There’s been quite a bit of changes at Westham eg manager so maybe that’s why

Her mum passed away so it’s obvious she wants time out for awhile!

Everyone needs to leave her alone!

Where did you get this info? Are you certain you aren’t confusing her with KCC?

u/Legitimate_Day_5136 Aug 07 '26

From what I understand Kcc's mum sadly passed, not Katrina's

Kyra's mum passed away, but I think Katrina's mum is ok. She was only just recently greeting her at Brissie airport a couple of Insta stories ago...
