Océane Hurtré’s first six Women’s Super League appearances have brought six goals for Birmingham City, and a new interview with the competition’s official website puts that start into perspective. Published on 25 October, the feature highlights a tally that matches the opening six-game record set by fellow Blue Rachel Williams in 2011.
For supporters following Blues’ return to the top flight, it is a welcome individual milestone. The comparison concerns those first six appearances, rather than a claim about the current Golden Boot standings.
A familiar name alongside a new Blues threat
In the official WSL interview, Hurtré describes enjoying football and continuing to believe in herself through difficult periods. She also contrasts the greater emphasis on possession in France with the physical and direct demands she has encountered in England.
The league’s feature records another notable achievement: September’s Player of the Month award, earned after four goals and an assist in four league appearances. It is recognition of a productive opening spell, rather than a guarantee of what follows over the rest of the campaign.
From France to Birmingham
FourFourTwo’s profile, published on 22 October, traces the Rennes-born forward’s route through Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon’s academies, followed by loan spells at Dijon and Bordeaux. She joined Birmingham in August 2025 on a three-year deal.
Her first league season with Blues produced three goals and three assists in 21 WSL2 appearances as the club won promotion. The contrast with six goals in her first six top-flight outings is striking: the step up in division has coincided with a much quicker scoring return.
The same profile notes a hat-trick against Chatham Town in February’s 8-0 FA Cup victory and a scoring senior France debut against Latvia earlier this month. Those are separate achievements from the six-goal WSL sequence.
A moment worth recognising
Blues supporters have already seen Hurtré’s contribution at the Emirates, covered in our Arsenal match report. This latest interview adds her own perspective to that early-season impact.
Matching a record associated with Williams gives the achievement a particular Birmingham connection. There is plenty of football still to play, but Hurtré’s opening six appearances have already earned a place in the club’s WSL story.
