Young Matilda Peta Trimis has signed a two-year contract extension with the Central Coast Mariners which will see her remain 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 the Mariners’ 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.
She ultimately ended the season with 21 appearances, scoring three goals.
Trimis received the Mariners Liberty A-League Newcomer of the Year award at the Mariners Medal Dinner, a deserved accolade after an outstanding debut season.
She has also been excelling in the Australian Youth National Team set-up, 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 said Trimis had a lot of potential.
“We truly believe that she is a special talent who will be at the forefront of our group this year,” Husband said.
