An anchor at the base of the Wanderers’ midfield, Chessari won more tackles than any other midfielder in the Ninja A-League last season and expressed her pride at signing on for another campaign in Red and Black.

“I’m especially grateful to my family and friends for their constant love and encouragement.
“A special thank you to my Dad who first kicked the ball with me as a little girl and sparked my love for the beautiful game.”
Initially joining the Wanderers on a scholarship deal ahead of the 2022-23 season, 21-year-old Chessari has consistently grown both as a person and a player in Western Sydney and has gone on to become a key figure under Abrahams.
“Amy embodies everything we value at this club, professionalism, humility, and a relentless work ethic,” said Abrahams.
“Amy’s earned her spot through consistency and determination. We’re incredibly proud of the progress made over the past few seasons and excited to see her play an even bigger role in the club’s success.”
Chessari’s re-signing comes after news 2024 Julie Dolan Medallist Sophie Harding had left the club after seeking an early termination of her Wanderers contract due to personal reasons.
