Royals re-sign young star Olivia Ristevski for 2025 NPLW Victoria campaign

Essendon Royals are proud to announce the re-signing of young star Olivia Ristevski to their senior women’s side for the 2025 NPLW Victoria campaign.

Ristevski returns to the Royals after a breakout season, where she made 16 appearances and scored once in her second campaign in the senior side.

The 16-year-old full-back had a debut to remember when she scored against Calder United back in Round 2 and continued to be a key fixture in the Royals squad for the remainder of the campaign.

Ristevski gained valuable knowledge working alongside A-League Women defenders TJ Vlajnic and Julia Sardo, along with the highly experienced Marie Rampal as she went from strength to strength in 2024.

She joins Mikaela Jurcic, Ava Groba, Kendrah Smith and Audrey Oastler as players to have re-signed ahead of next season.
