Naomi Chinnama

Thomas-Chinnama’s status as one of the most highly-rated young centre-backs in the country was reinforced by her inclusion in the Australia squad for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.

The 21-year-old has amassed more than 40 ALW appearances for Melbourne City over the past four seasons, 14 of which came during the 2023/24 campaign as the Victorian side claimed the Premiership title.

She signed for Glory in August 2024 and immediately cemented herself as a defensive mainstay of the side, starting every game of the season and claiming her first ever ALW goal in the Round 6 win over Adelaide United.
