Sydney FC have secured the futures of three of their brightest young stars, with Caley Tallon-Henniker, Amber Luchtmeijer and Rubi Sullivan all committing to the club ahead of the 2025-26 Ninja A-League Women’s campaign.

All three impressed during the club’s 2024–25 campaign and will remain key components of Head Coach Ante Juric’s vision for the future.
He praised their progression and the club’s commitment to nurturing top local talent.
