South Melbourne FC would like to announce the re-signing of 2017 Best and Fairest winner Natalie Martineau for the 2018 NPL Victoria season.
In her four seasons with the club, the Canadian-born midfielder has impressed everyone with her exceptional work ethic and creative play, as well as her leadership on the park.
Natalie was an integral part of SMWFC’s back-to-back WPL Championships in 2014-2015, the State League triumph in 2016 and of course the most recent Premiership and Championship in the NPL Women’s competition of 2017 where she stood out as one of the dominant midfield players in the entire competition.
Women’s Football Director Gabrielle Guiliano was pleased to have Natalie back at the club for the upcoming season. “Natalie showed great loyalty in being part of the Club over the past few seasons and was one of our stand out players for the 2017 season. Her tireless work rate and ability to keep driving her game to another level is something that she is well known for and we are excited to see her back in our colours for another season.”
We wish Natalie all the best for the 2018 NPL season.
