Kiley Dulaney (born June 24, 2002) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender or forward for A-League Women club Sydney FC. She played college soccer for the Arkansas Razorbacks before starting her professional career with the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and USL Super League club Dallas Trinity FC.
Early life A native of Jacksonville, Arkansas, Dulaney started playing soccer at the age of 9. She played club soccer with Real Arkansas and Oklahoma Energy FC, advancing to the National Premier League Finals with Real Arkansas. Dulaney played two years of soccer with Cabot High School, where she was a Top 5 conference player in terms of points and goals in both years. She was homeschooled as a high school junior before playing one more year of high school soccer at the Jacksonville High.
College career Dulaney was signed by the Arkansas Razorbacks ahead of the 2020 college season, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, play did not start until 2021. Dulaney kicked off her college career by playing in 12 freshman matches and registering 2 assists, both of which occurred in a game against Missouri State on February 23, 2021. She doubled her appearances the following season, playing in all 24 of Arkansas' matches, including all 4 NCAA tournament games.
In the offseason before her junior year at Arkansas, Dulaney played for Asheville City SC in the pre-professional USL W League. In her 8 games of action, Dulaney scored 4 times, including an 89th minute game-tying goal against the Charlotte Independence. Asheville City finished 5th in the South Atlantic Division and did not move on to the playoffs.
Dulaney missed her junior year of college due to injury. In her first game back in action, she scored a goal to help the Razorbacks earn a season-opening victory over Arkansas State. She repeated a similar feat the following year, scoring in Arkansas' 2024 season opener as well. She was named to the SEC Second Team after her fifth year, her first such honor as a Razorback. Dulaney also finished her college career as a two-time SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll honoree and a two-time SEC Preseason Watchlist member.
