Player profile: Victoria Jamieson, captain
How many seasons have you played NPLW1 with your current club?
Five; this will be my sixth season.
Likely onfield position?
Left fullback.
What’s got you excited about the season?
The squad we have – we have gained some great new players and have worked really hard and developed our playing style in the off-season. We are all excited to get the season started and see how far we can take it.
Who is a rising star in your team that fans should watch out for?
We have a lot of young talent in the team, but I can’t look past Emma Croker. She already made a massive mark on the WPL in her first season last year with her ability and work ethic, and I can’t wait to see what she achieves this season.
Are there any match-ups you are particularly looking forward to? (This could be a specific opposition player, and/or another club)
We are excited to play the big teams, like Belconnen and CFC. Both teams are very strong technically and play good football. The games always pose big challenges, but we are looking forward to it.
