As we count down until Newcastle's A-League Women's season kicks off against Sydney at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on Saturday, the Newcastle Herald has gone one-on-one with the Jets to find out more about each footballer.
Kirsty Fenton has been identified as a rising talent of the game with a place in the Future Matildas program, which helps develop the next generation of the nation's elite players.
The Blackalls Park 18-year-old has come through the Jets Academy to earn her first A-League Women's contract, and the defender is hoping to make the most of the opportunity.
Jets coach Ash Wilson describes her as "an up-and-coming talent" who she expects to grow into the game.
"She has got a lot of technical ability and is a forward-thinking player, so she could be someone who pushes to continue to create that challenging environment," Wilson said.
NH: What was your first club, and how old were you?
KF: I actually started out playing rugby union when I was six or seven. My brother and my mum were playing soccer then I got into it at Toronto Awaba when I was eight or nine.
NH: What do you do off the field?
KF: I've been doing my HSC and, now I'm finishing school, I am starting to look for a job. I am hoping to go into nursing or midwifery. On my rest days I'm just resting because I'm so drained. I'll clean my room, clean my car, get myself back together.
NH: What music, if any, is playing on game day?
KF: I just go with the flow. Whatever goes on the speaker and pumps everyone up. R&B pump-up or old-school vibe.
NH: What television series, if any, are you addicted to?
KF: I am obsessed with All American. Either that or Love Island.
NH: What can't you live without?
KF: My hair straightener. Without a hair straightener my hair just doesn't work. And coffee.
NH: Do you have any pre-match habits?
KF: I don't really have a specific thing. I just have a certain time when I have to eat.
