We are delighted to announce the signing of Mackenzie Hawkesby from Sydney FC, subject to the necessary regulatory processes.

At international level, Mackenzie received call-ups to Australian national team for two friendlies against Spain and Portugal in 2022.

Head coach Melissa Phillips said, “We are excited that Mackenzie is joining us. She’s a versatile player and had great success last season with Sydney FC where she played alongside Madison Haley.

“She’s an eager player with a lot of hunger when she’s on the ball and we’re delighted to welcome her to Albion.”
