Eastlake Football Club is proud to announce that premiership winning player Jessie Williams has signed a contract with North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos.
Jessie becomes the first player from the Eastlake Demons to receive a contract to play in the AFLW.
A Tasmanian born player who moved to Canberra to play soccer professionally and subsequently joined the Eastlake Demons for the 2018 season. However, through an AFLW tenant search, Jessie was identified to have a great work ethic and rare ability to read the game.
Developing her game either on the wing and the forward flank Jessie has worked hard to improve her kicking which has paid off with the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos snapping up Jessie.
Jessie said “I have come a long way from kicking a football with my father at Bellerive Oval (Blundstone Arena) and I am looking forward to the challenges of the AFLW.
“I have loved my time at Eastlake and will miss the club and its great players and coaches. The draw has not come out yet but I would love to play in Canberra against the Giants and in front all my friends’.
Please join the club in wishing Jessie all the best in the AFLW.
