N. Rigby

Skippering her home-state club for a fifth time this season, Rigby is closing in on 100 A-League Women appearances to her name and was an ever-present, once again, during the 2022/23 campaign.

An uncompromising and athletic defender, she has previously been involved with Matildas training camps and away from the game, engages in charitable work to improve literacy amongst Indigenous Australians and support mental health.

The 30-year-old scored her maiden A-League goal last season in the 1-1 home draw with Western Sydney Wanderers.
