Melbourne Victory Head Coach, Jeff Hopkins said he was thrilled to be able to call upon Privitelli once again this season.

“Lia has continued to grow and develop as a person and a player at Melbourne Victory and we’re excited to be able to see more from her this campaign.”
Privitelli was also looking forward to another season at Victory.
“I’m excited to be back with this incredible group and driven to achieve more success this season,” Privitelli said.
“Last year was a stand-out season for me and I’m looking to build upon that and bring home our third consecutive title.”
