According to Google (so take with a pinch of salt) the average A-league womens salary is 30k AUD which is 14.7k GBP.

Still has family living over in Ireland (her dad is Irish) so she’s close to that part of her family at least. Besides, you’d choose Sunny Manchester over Australia any day of the week.

.. right?
 
I was going to post that all of the catwalk talk is all very well, but the 2 things I really want to see on this thread are news of a) a return to light training and b) a contract extension.

So 50% there! Excellent news.

Ah didn't know her dad was Irish!
 
Great coup for us. Another player Arsenal can add to the list of players they arent signing on a free next summer (after Clinton.)

Hemp, Yui, Kerstin and Mary all over the line in under a year. Just Bunny to go now and we're laughing.

Absolutely fantastic news. Bit odd it’s only a two year deal but I thought the same when we re-signed Kerstin

I guess it works for Mary keeping her options open as her partner is the best RL in the world and there is no sign of him coming to the UK - and for the club too as they see how she recovers from the ACL injury - (Roord as example was not the same player). Given her ability I am hopeful that she returns as good as she was and we can look to extend in 27.

I did think she signed a 4 year deal in 2022 - until summer 2026 so in reality it's only a single year added although I may have that wrong.

Mary did sign a 4 year contract in 2022, so as you say the deal is effectively only for an extra year. Her partner, Nathan Cleary is reportedly a target for a Saudi backed Rugby Union competition that is due to start in 2026. The competition will be based in Europe, bringing the 2 closer. So she is probably keeping her options open if the Rugby Union comp does start.
