Essendon Royals welcome centre-back Maya Stankovic ahead of 2025 NPLW Victoria season

Essendon Royals thrilled to announce the arrival of Maya Stankovic to our senior women’s team ahead of the 2025 NPLW Victoria season.

Maya joins the club after starring in State League One last season with Doveton and previously captained Noble Park United prior to her move to the former.

The centre-back also spent time at Box Hill United as part of their youth team setup.

Her arrival significantly bolsters our defensive unit, joining the likes of Mikaela Jurcic, Olivia Ristevski and Mia Lantieri-Bartley.

She’s the club’s fourth new signing of the off-season, joining Emily Harbis, Emma Langley and Betti Michael.
