The Newcastle Jets have announced the signing of promising young goalkeeper Georgia Ritchie for the Ninja A-League 2025-26 season.
The 17-year-old talent came through the Canberra United academy and spent the last two seasons with the senior team, serving as a backup behind both Chloe Lincoln and Sally James.
Previously, she captained the ACT at the 2024 U16s National Youth Championships.
“I’m really grateful for the opportunity to join the Newcastle Jets,” Ritchie said.
“It’s an exciting step in my career and I’m looking forward to the season ahead. I can’t wait to develop my game further and learn from the quality within the squad and coaching staff.”
Ritchie links up with the Jets where she’ll join New Zealand international Anna Leat in the club’s goalkeeping brigade.
Head coach Stephen Hoyle said: “Georgia is a talented young keeper that we believe has a lot of potential.
“We are excited to add her to the squad and can’t wait to see her develop in our environment.”
