Young Matilda Peta Trimis signs two-year Mariners contract extension

·

The Central Coast Mariners have announced that Young Matilda Peta Trimis signed a two-year contract extension with the Mariners, keeping the 18-year-old on the Coast until the end of the 2025/26 season.

The forward arrived at the Mariners at the beginning of last season for her first taste of Liberty A-League football, having just finished third in the NSW NPL Player of the Year voting.

Initially signing on a scholarship deal, the then 17-year-old made her debut against Newcastle in round one, before receiving her first start six days later in our first win back in the competition against Adelaide.

After scoring her first league goal against Canberra United just before Christmas, Trimis had her contract upgraded to a full A-League deal in late January. The forward ultimately ended the season with 21 appearances, scoring three goals.

The 18-year-old’s performances saw her receive the Mariners Liberty A-League Newcomer of the Year award at the Mariners Medal Dinner, a deserved accolade after an outstanding debut season.

Trimis has also been excelling in the Australian Youth National Team setup, dominating the 2023 U20 Asian Cup, helping the squad qualify for the upcoming U20 FIFA World Cup in Colombia.

Across the tournament, the 18-year-old scored three goals and got one assist, which ended in her being one of four players nominated for the Future Star Player of the Tournament award. Remarkably, she was two years younger than any of the other nominees.

Central Coast Mariners Head Coach Emily Husband is delighted to have the rising star signed to the club ahead of the new campaign.

“Peta had a standout season for us last year and I am really excited to be able to work with her again. She is a young player with so much potential, we truly believe that she is a special talent who will be at the forefront of our group this year,” Husband said.

“For some players it takes them a couple of seasons to really break through into the A-League, Peta did that in one season with us. Coming into the squad on a scholarship and ending on a full contract shows just how well she did. We want to continue to help her progress and can’t wait to have her back with us.”

The Young Matilda is excited for the upcoming campaign and is pleased to be wearing Yellow and Navy for the next two seasons.

“I am really excited to extend my contract with the Mariners. Joining the club last season for my first year in the league, I felt right at home straight away, and I had an amazing time with the team. We had a really strong season, making it to the semi-finals, and I know that the girls are eager to go even further this year,” Trimis said.

“Working with Emily and the coaching staff, I learnt so much, and I feel that the Mariners is the perfect place for me to continue to grow as a footballer. After the U20’s World Cup in Colombia, I can’t wait get back to the Coast, meet up with the group again and get to work ahead of a massive season.”
