Western Sydney Wanderers have signed teenage midfielder Milly Bennett on a scholarship contract for the 2024-25 Liberty A-League season.
Bennett has earned a promotion after she signed a youth development deal at the start of the 2023-24 campaign.
A member of the CommBank Junior Matildas’ squad for the recent AFC Under-17 Women’s Asian Cup, Bennett is now eyeing her A-Leagues debut.

“I work very hard, I am very passionate, but I think I can keep going at any point in the game wherever we are.
“My work ethic is a big positive in my game, and something that has got me her today.
“I think to get my debut in the Liberty A-League is a huge goal for me, and getting game time overall, but mainly I want to improve myself as a player -that is something that is really important for me.”
The Wanderers have re-signed Julie Dolan Medallist Sophie Harding, Gemma Ferris, Ella Buchanan, Amy Harrison and Talia Younis this off-season.
“During last season, Milly was impressive in her drive and ability to fit in with the squad both on and off the pitch,” said head coach Robbie Hooker.
“We have seen immense growth in her as a player and are hoping to see her establish herself as a serious contender within the regular squad.”
