Rasmussen was nominated via a panel appointed by the Australian Professional Leagues (APL). The panel features an assortment of media representatives and technical football experts, who vote on a 3-2-1 basis at the conclusion of each nominated monthly period throughout the season.
The club’s inaugural signing for the 2023-24 campaign, Rasmussen has tripled her attacking productivity with her six goals in the club’s second season since returning to the competition, taking her career haul to nine in 44 games.
This weekend, the 19-year-old will look to contribute to an Elimination Final triumph over Canberra United at Industree Group Stadium.
