The youngster featured 10 times for the red and black last season and she said she enjoyed the professionalism on the Wanderers set-up last season.

"It was great to get a lot of minutes in my first season and I think working hard and being true to yourself is what I'll take with me into this upcoming season," she said.

"My goals are for the club to have a really great season and to help them make finals would be amazing."
