Canberra United’s leading defender and newly appointed co-captain, Nikola Orgill, has announced she’s re-signed with the club for 2019/20.
Orgill has become one of the W-League’s most prized defenders over the previous few seasons, with exceptional performances at Western Sydney Wanderers pre-empting her successful spell in the nation’s capital.
“I am really looking forward to stepping up into a leadership role with the club,” Orgill said.
“I’ve played with most of the girls before and I’m really excited by the opportunity to co- captain such a great group of players.
“Being in Canberra for a year, I feel like a true local now and I can’t wait to represent the club and play in front of our amazing fans.”
Canberra head coach Heather Garriock sees Orgill’s dual responsibility as a lawyer as an inspiration for other aspiring footballers.
“Nikola will be balancing her day job as a young lawyer as well as committing to Canberra United,” Garriock said.
“This highlights that it’s possible to be an elite athlete as well as have a career, so she’s a great role model.
“Nikola brought us consistency and stability last season, and she will play a critical role in the leadership of Canberra United this season.”
