We welcome the Reds to Leicestershire for a 12pm kick-off on Sunday, our first home fixture of the 25/26 Barclays Women’s Super League campaign, with a chance to gain a maiden win of the season on offer to both sides.

And ahead of potentially making her home bow, the Australian international outlined her eagerness to play at King Power Stadium after making a Deadline Day move from WSL 2 side Birmingham City.

Applauding the travelling support in Manchester.

“I can’t wait to make my home debut in front of all the fans here,” the midfielder told CITY Matchday Magazine earlier this week. “I’ve heard that they are really good and get among the team.

“I’m just excited to go out and hopefully put in a really good shift for them and the community. We’re at home, we need our fans to be our 12th player which I know they will be. We’ll be looking to do the best we can on the day.”

Her full debut came in last weekend’s season opener at Manchester United, which ended in a 4-0 defeat, though with a fresh challenge on the horizon, all of this week’s efforts have been centred around improving in order to produce a more positive outcome on the day.

In Leicester blue for the first time.

“We had a tough game on the weekend but for us we’ve got 21 games to go so we take the positives,” the 32-year-old added. “We learn from the things that we can always get better at.

“We just continue to keep building every week because I truly believe that we have a really good foundation here. And I think Liverpool are kind of in the same situation as us – they’re going to be looking to bounce back (after an opening-day defeat by Everton).”
