Sydney FC have announced 2023-24 Liberty A-League champion Mackenzie Hawkesby has re-signed for another season at the Sky Blues.
The player of the match in this season’s Liberty A-League Grand Final, Hawkesby has won three Liberty A-League Premierships and two Championships – but is in pursuit of more silverware as she puts pen to paper on a one-season extension.

Hawkesby re-joined the club in January after a stint at Brighton & Hove Albion and was a key contributor to Sydney’s Championship defence.
“I absolutely love playing for Sydney FC, I am Sky Blue and bleed Sky Blue,” she said.
“I knew I would enjoy coming back here whatever happened this season and I had a fire burning inside of me; so I’m delighted to be returning next year as well.
“It’s a great club with a great group of girls, excellent training facilities and a fantastic culture so I can’t wait to defend our title.”
Hawkesby is the fourth Championship winner to re-commit to the club for the 2024-25 season, joining Natalie Tobin, Abbey Lemon and Margaux Chauvet.
“Mackenzie changed the course of our season this year and thankfully she is coming back next year,” said Sydney head coach Ante Juric.
“She’s a born winner and a leader and she will be a hugely important part of our squad next season.
“Having her on board will give us an excellent chance of retaining our Championship.”
