Devils unveil recruits

Darley has unveiled its recruits for the Ballarat Football League women’s season.

The Devils, who have won the past two premierships, have strengthened their squad as they go for a hat-trick.

Darley said on social media the new players bring a mix of skill, experience, and passion that will elevate the squad to new heights.

As reported by Star Weekly, former Adelaide player Tamara Henry returns to her junior club.

She will also play in the Victorian Football League women’s competition.

Henry isn’t the only familiar face among the new signings.

Kali Joyce returns the club having finished second in the league best and fairest in 2022.

Zali Le Huray crosses from cross town rival and is described as a competitive and composed player.

Melton pair Tayla Debono and Rhiannon Carra have joined the Devils.

Debono is a small but fierce competitor who finished runners-up in the Riddell District Football League best and fairest last year.

Carra is a seasoned player with plenty of experience and leadership.

Evie Fitzgerald, comes from Maribyrnong, and is currently a Western Jets player with a booming kick and a strong overhead mark.

Devils co-coach Emmerson Hitch is one of her coaches at the Jets.

Jenna Burke joins the club from Redan and is a former GWV Rebels and Vic Country player.

Hannah Davis and Lusiya Azina join the Devils from Western Football League side Caroline Springs.

“Hannah Davis … already setting the standards with her work ethic, footy smarts, and commitment at training,” the Devils said.

“Lusiya Azina … a crafty forward pocket who stepped up with two clutch goals in the 2024 WFL grand final.”

Megan Hogg, a former Melton Centrals player, is returning to the sport and is known for her marking ability.
