The 25-year-old has been sidelined since last October following surgery on her right knee, but has been edging closer to a comeback over the past month.
The creative midfielder played for Ballarat at the Islanders Cup futsal tournament last weekend and is set to make her Stingrays debut when they face Marconi at JJ Kelly Park this Sunday.
"We won the tournament down in Tasmania so that was good comeback there and this is a good game in outdoor to come back to as well against Marconi who I played last season,” Jarvie, who has represented Australia at futsal, said.
“I am looking forward to it.”
Jarvie only moved to the Illawarra before the season began to continue growing her newly established Point 1 Football Academy. She has previously played in the W-League with Western Sydney Wanderers and last suited up for Marconi in the NSW NPL Women’s 1 in 2015.
She hopes to make her presence felt at her new club.
"The Stingrays have always been a very strong team to compete with, playing against them. I want to continue that,” Jarvie said.
"I like scoring goals so I would like to score as many as possible before the season is out.
"I like to be creative so hopefully I can bring that to the midfield. We lose the national team girls soon as well so hopefully keep that up while they are away."
