Exciting speedster Kate McCarthy is flying towards 2019 after re-signing with the Club for Season 3.0 of the AFLW.
The Brisbane native is thrilled to be pulling on the Lions guernsey for her third season after signing her paperwork this week.
“I love Brisbane, it’s my home and I’ve always loved it here,” she told lions.com.au.
“I love the Club, I love the environment and the culture that we have.”
“Everyone wants to play for each other, we’re a team that wants to work hard and put in for one another,” she said.
“We don’t have one or two players who we always rely on and that’s always been a goal of ours and something we’ve worked towards and a reason why we’ve been successful.”
The Lions have started training for the upcoming inaugural Winter Series, which reunites the playing list over the long break between seasons.
“It’s great that we’ll be able to see each other once a week, keep in touch with the coaches more regularly and have access to the Club,” she said.
The school teacher is yet to miss a game for the Lions and hopes to perform strongly again in 2019.
