RISING talent Anna-Lee Jarrett-Crooks has earned selection to the Northern NSW Indigenous U16 Girls team.
A forward for the Nambucca Strikers U16s, Anna-Lee has been an outstanding presence on the field, making key contributions to her team’s success.
Nambucca Strikers senior women’s coach Rhys Jones praised her contribution at both the junior and senior level.
“Her performances have not gone unnoticed, leading to several appearances for the senior Nambucca Strikers women’s team, where she has demonstrated maturity and confidence beyond her years,” Jones said.
“Anna-Lee’s selection means she will compete in the Community State Youth Championships, showcasing her abilities against some of the best young footballers in the region.
“Her pace, technique, and eye for goal make her a valuable addition to the squad, and her development at the state level will only strengthen her future prospects in the sport.
“Local football fans have watched Anna-Lee flourish, and her selection serves as an inspiration for young Indigenous athletes aiming to make their mark.”
Jones said the entire Nambucca Strikers community is eager to see her represent Northern NSW with pride.
“As she prepares for the championships, Anna-Lee continues to work hard, refining her skills and embracing the opportunities ahead,” he said.
“With her determination and talent, the future looks bright for this promising young star,” concluded Jones.
