Key Players

Lynn Williams

After coming second in the NWSL’s golden boot race to Australia’s own Sam Kerr, Williams will be eager to find the back of the net as often as she can while on Kerr’s home turf.

A versatile attacker, Williams is as good on her left boot as she is on her right and deadly when inside the box. She’ll also be able to set up her new teammates thanks to her speed up the wing and accurate crosses into dangerous areas.

Jada Whyman

Returning for her fourth season with the wanderers, Jada Whyman’s incredible saves kept the wanderers in the game throughout last season. Thanks to her efforts, Whyman rightfully won the W-league Wanderers’ Player of the Year award.

As the standard of competition increases her shot stopping skills will be needed again this season as the Wanderers look to improve on a last place finish.

Amy Harrison:

After her second ACL tear in early 2018, Amy Harrison has only come back bigger and better.

Representing the Matildas at the cup of nations and the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Harrison’s game experience will allow her to take control of the midfield and make key distributions to create goal scoring opportunities.

One to watch

Courtney Nevin

In what will be her third season in the red and black, Courtney Nevin is definitely a player to watch out for in this W-league season. The 17-year-old has come up through the ranks of Australian Football and has been given her first Matildas call-up, training with the team in preparation for their friendly matches against Chile.

Even if she doesn’t make her senior team debut this November, her experience from training with Australia’s best will definitely be applied when she plays for Western Sydney.
