Melbourne Victory’s 2021/22 A-League Women Championship squad have commenced their off-season stints across Australia and the globe since lifting their second trophy in two seasons on March 27 in Sydney.
Majority of the squad are representing Australian NPL clubs during the break while Kyra Cooney-Cross, Courtney Nevin, Alex Chidiac and Melina Ayres have signed overseas.
16-year-old Alana Murphy is training in the Emerging Matildas program in Sydney after playing a role in Victory’s late fixtures to secure a Finals position.
Bulleen is the most represented NPL club with Lia Privitelli, Paige Zois and Tiff Eliadis playing for the Lions.
Kayla Morrison is also signed at Bulleen as she continues her knee rehab.
