Sam Kerr is set to play her first match on Australian soil in more than two years against New Zealand in Gosford next month, Football Australia announced on Tuesday.

A two-game international series will be held at Polytec Stadium, with the first match scheduled for November 28.

Interim Football Australia chief executive Heather Garriock said Kerr should make an appearance in those matches, following her selection for two Matildas’ upcoming friendlies against Wales and England.

“We’re excited to see Sam back on the football field,” Garriock said. “The squad will be announced in the near future, and we look forward to Sam being named in that squad and possibly in the game at Gosford for her to play her first minutes on Australian soil since she got injured.”
