The Newcastle Jets are delighted to announce that central defender Natasha Prior has re-signed for a further two seasons.
Prior made her debut for the Club in 2017 and after re-joining the Jets last season the centre-back has made 38 appearances for the Club. Prior also scored her first goal in the A-League which came in a 3-1 win against Adelaide United in 2023.
Prior said. “I’m happy to re-sin with the Jets for a further two seasons. I was really happy last season with how we performed and I know that this is just the beginning as we look to build on last year’s success. I want to be a part of the future moving forward as I know we have a great young squad that will only improve and I’m excited for pre-season to return and get back amongst it all with my teammates.”
Newcastle Jets Coach Ryan Campbell is delighted to secure Prior for the next two seasons.
“Tash was a key member of our run to the semi-finals last season and was a vital part of recruitment for the upcoming season. Her defensive ability combined with her calmness in possession are key qualities that make her one of the best central defenders in the competition.
I have high hopes for her development and with a good season, national team honours are not out of the question. Being able to keep Tash for the upcoming seasons is a real sign of intent of what we are looking to do with our squad.”
