Nunn added: “Once I got a taste of the A-League I really felt at home. The league is exciting and competitive with unpredictable outcomes and last minute goals which makes every game interesting.
“I learnt so much about the league; the different styles of play and different culture. It was a great opportunity for me to grow.
“It’s a lot different to other countries but I think that I adapted really well and came out as a winner.
“The A-League really suits both my style of play and my mentality. It’s a very transitional league where games can open up quickly, and that plays to some of my strengths.
“I thrive in pressure situations where I can use my speed and physicality
to make an impact.”

With Olympic champion Bev Priestman at the helm, the Phoenix have been busy overhauling their squad for a Championship tilt in 2025-26.
Wellington’s evolution has seen the club recruit Dominican Republic international captain Lucia Leon, Ellie Walker, Netherlands international Tessel Middag, New Zealand international goalkeeper Victoria Esson, Nepal international Sabitra Bhandari, CJ Bott, Marisa van der Meer and academy star Macey Fraser.
“Brooke is another great addition to our squad,” Priestman said.
“As well as being part of a championship-winning A-League side last season, Brooke has a lot of personality that she can bring to a game and the team.
“She has a big engine, great pace and is really brave going forward, all attributes that will make her an asset and a versatile player for us.”
