“Her recent success in Australia will help carry momentum into the squad as we prepare for another season, but we also believe she can further develop as a young player with us in the WSL.”

The 20-year-old joined Sydney FC in 2020. She helped the Sky Blues lift the A-League title in April alongside new Albion teammates Madison Haley and Mackenzie Hawkesby.
