Heather Ann Garriock (born 21 December 1982) is an Australian former soccer player and coach. Garriock played as a midfielder in a career based mostly in Australia. Her last stint as a player was for Western Sydney Wanderers of the Australian W-League. Garriock played 130 matches for the Australian women's national team, appearing at two Olympic football tournaments and three FIFA Women's World Cups.

Playing career

Club career

Garriock began her career playing football in Australia. She played for Marconi Stallions, NSW Sapphires, and Queensland Sting before moving overseas.

She signed with Adirondack Lynx of Women's Premier Soccer League in 2006. She made six appearances in 2006 before returning to the Australian National Team. In 2007, she made a further five appearances. In total, she made 11 appearances for Adirondack Lynx, while scoring 10 goals and chipping in eight assists.[1]

Garriock was on the move once again in 2008, playing for Fortuna Hjørring in Denmark, before moving back to Australia to play for Sydney FC in the Australian W-League.[2]

In 2009, Garriock was selected for the Women's Professional Soccer league in the United States. In the 2008 WPS International Draft, she was picked 12th overall by Chicago Red Stars. For the inaugural 2009 Women's Professional Soccer season, she appeared for Chicago in 5 games (0 starts, 89 total minutes) and recorded an assist. It was announced on 30 September 2009 that Chicago had waived their option for a second year, thus making Garriock a free agent.[3]

She returned to her previous team, Sydney FC, following her release from Chicago.

In October 2013, Garriock joined Western Sydney Wanderers.[4]

Garriock retired from national league football after the 2013–14 W-League season.[5]

Garriock first represented the Australia in October 1999 in a friendly against China at 16 years old. She has represented her country in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney as well as the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[6][7]

She has also appeared for Australia in the 2003 and 2007 editions of the FIFA Women's World Cup. She scored two goals in 2003 and one in 2007.[8]

Coaching career

Garriock was appointed senior head coach of the Sydney Uni SFC women's first team in 2014.[9][10]

In 2017, Garriock was appointed an assistant coach of Australia for the 2017 Algarve Cup.[11]

On 22 May 2017, Garriock was appointed head coach of Canberra United.[12] She was let go in February 2020.

Personal life

Garriock was born in Campbelltown in the western suburbs of Sydney. She attended Westfields Sports High School.[13][14]

Garriock and her long-term domestic partner (later husband), Mathieu Louchart's first child was born in late 2012. By the middle of the following year, the soccer player was in training to return to the national team.[15][16] In October, Garriock was selected for the national squad,[17] for an away friendly match in San Antonio, against the United States, although she did not play.[18] After the tour, Football Federation Australia denied a claim from Garriock to cover her childcare expenses. A subsequent appeal to the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal was unsuccessful.[19][20] Her ambition to compete for the Matildas, while caring for her child, was thwarted by lack of support.[19][20] By July 2023 Garriock and Louchart were the parents of three children.[21]

Garriock started the Macarthur Youth Football Academy in 2011, based in the southwestern Sydney area of Camden.[22]

In June 2003, Garriock's younger brother, Nathan, died at age 17 from injuries sustained during an altercation at a party he attended in Camden.[23][24]
