The community of Borroloola is extremely proud of the 17-year-old, especially her family.

Every time Evans comes back home, which is every few months at the moment, they come racing to see her.

"It's great going back home and they get very excited for me to come home, just to be with everyone again," Evans said.

"So it's good to go home and just be around family again.

"Family play an important role in my life, supporting me in everything, I'm thankful and grateful to have them behind me."

Evans has become a role model for the kids back home but she is also growing to become an inspiration to Indigenous children across the Northern Territory and Australia.

"I want to inspire other young Indigenous Australians to play football or to achieve what they want to achieve."

Unfortunately, football is still playing catchup with the NRL and Aussie Rules which see Indigenous representation around 15 per cent and 12 per cent respectively. Football sees a little over one per cent of the A-League or W-League players being an Indigenous Australian.

Evans would like to see more programs going into indigenous communities around the country to not only give them an opportunity in football but in other aspects of life.

"More programs in the small communities is a great way to give Indigenous children the opportunity to shine in football," she said.

"Even on and off the field like education and health, it's always good to be given the opportunity.

"Just giving them the opportunity to have fun, come together and play football,"

"Hopefully we can continue to develop indigenous footballers in Australia."
