The Newcastle Jets are pleased to announce the signing of forward Sheridan Gallagher for the 2024/25 Ninja A-League season.
Gallagher joins from Rugby League side the Newcastle Knights where she has played since 2023 including winning the Grand Final that year.
Gallagher also captained the Young Matildas at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Costa Rica and made 21 appearances for the Western Sydney Wanderers in 2021.
“I can’t wait to get out there in Jets colours for my first game. I’m grateful that the Knights have allowed me to play in the Ninja A-League this season.”
“I love Newcastle and I feel at home here as an adopted Novocastrian. I can’t wait to play in front of our Members, fans and the community and inspire the next generation of kids coming through.
“The first game can’t come quick enough for me. I will give it my all and can’t wait to represent the Newcastle community when I put on the Jets shirt.”
Newcastle Jets Head Coach Ryan Campbell said.
“Sheridan adds depth to our attacking stocks. She will add speed and strength up front and I’m excited to see what type of impact she will have for us.
Her previous experience with the Wanderers and Young Matildas will serve her well and I know she will be a hit with our fan base.”
