Royals turbocharge attack with return of Golden Boot winner Audrey Oastler for 2025 season

Essendon Royals are excited to announce the return of Golden Boot winner Audrey Oastler for the 2025 NPLW Victoria season.

Oastler enjoyed a breakout campaign after arriving from FC Bulleen Lions at the start of last season, scoring 13 goals in 21 appearances and winning our club’s Golden Boot, along with finishing fifth in the NPLW Victoria Golden Boot race.

This included a bag of five goals against Calder United at Cross Keys Reserve and braces on the road against reigning champions Heidelberg United and Brunswick Juventus.

Her speed, power and finishing ability made her one of the competition’s most dangerous attacking players and she will be looking to go to another level next year.

Oastler joins Mikaela Jurcic and Kendrah Smith as players re-signed for the upcoming campaign.
