Melbourne City FC have re-signed 20-year-old forward Caitlin Karic for the Ninja A-League 2025-26 season.
Karic first joined City in September 2021 and is now set to pull on the City blue for a fifth consecutive campaign.
Although injuries have limited her opportunities over the past two seasons, the Young Matilda remains a highly promising talent and will be determined to make her mark during the 2025-26 season.
Across her time in Melbourne, Karic has made 29 senior appearances and netted two goals, while also playing her part in City’s back-to-back Premiership-winning squads.
Her return brings both depth and a sense of continuity to Michael Matricciani’s squad, as the team prepares for another significant campaign across domestic and continental competitions.
Melbourne City FC Director of Football, Michael Petrillo, said: “We’ve seen Caitlin continue to grow throughout her time at the Club, and we’re really pleased to welcome her back for the upcoming season.
“With a clear run on the injury front, she has every chance to push for regular minutes and show the quality we know she’s capable of.”
Caitlin Karic said: “I’m really excited to be back at City for another season.
“Being part of such a successful group with so many great players and coaches has been an amazing experience, and I’m looking forward to building on that.
“My focus now is to keep improving, stay fit, and contribute as much as I can on the pitch this year.”
