Newcastle Jets are pleased to announce that goalkeeper Claire Coelho has re-signed for the 2022-2023 season.
Coelho first made her debut for the Jets in 2014 and has played a total of 44 games for the club.
Coach Ash Wilson is delighted to have secured Coelho’s services for the coming season and believes the goalkeeper can keep improving at the Club.
“Claire is an experienced goalkeeper who is passionate about this team and the Newcastle community. She has a strong competitive mentality, good communication from the back and is a great shot stopper who has impressed in this area over a number of seasons.
Her ability to play a range of passes also give us flexibility and options in how we build our attacks. Although Claire is experienced, she has a strong desire to keep improving, be the best she can be and support the team to achieve success. This commitment is something young players look up to and positively reflects the values we look to promote.”
Coelho is excited for the new season as she enters her 10th A-League season.
“I’m happy to have signed for my 10th season with the Jets. I’m looking forward to contributing further to the Club as well as working hard to succeed this season as a team.”
