Perth Glory is delighted to confirm that two of WA’s brightest young talents, Meg Phillips and Olivia Wood, have signed Youth Development Agreements (YDAs) with the club ahead of the 2025/26 Ninja A-League Season.
18-year-old goalkeeper Phillips is an NTC product who spent this year’s NPLW WA campaign gaining further senior experience at Fremantle City where she was a key member of the side that lifted the State Cup.
Livewire attacking midfielder Wood, meanwhile, spent the off-season playing for Essendon Royals who were semi-finalists in the NPLW Victoria having finished fourth in the regular season.
The 21-year-old scored four goals in 12 games to add to the 14 she bagged for Perth RedStar in the 2024 NPLW WA competition.
Glory Football Director Stan Lazaridis believes that both players have plenty of potential.
“Meg and Olivia are former train-ons who have been rewarded for their efforts with YDA contracts,” he said.
“Meg is very composed for a young ‘keeper and has a great temperament, while Olivia is quick, direct and has a real eye for goal.
“Both players impressed at NPL level during the ALW off-season and we look forward to seeing them continue their development within our senior squad this year.”
Further squad announcements will be made shortly.
