Ava Walters joins Essendon Royals’ goalkeeper union ahead of 2025 NPLW Victoria season

Essendon Royals are thrilled to announce the arrival of talented goalkeeper Ava Walters ahead of the 2025 NPLW Victoria season.

Walters arrives at the club from the reigning champions Heidelberg United, where she featured throughout their incredible run to silverware last season.

Prior to her time at the Bergers, Ava played for Box Hill United in their senior setup during the 2023 campaign, serving as the club’s number one choice.

She also featured for Bayside United prior to arriving at Wembley Park, and the youth teams of FC Bulleen Lions and Alamein.

Walters solidifies our goalkeeper union, joining 2024 NPLW Victoria Goalkeeper of the Year Bethany Mason-Jones, and is the club’s fifth new signing, joining Emily Harbis, Emma Langley, Betti Michael and Maya Stankovic.
