“Jaide brings incredible balance and energy to our club. As a student at UWA and a key member of our developing leadership group, she’s a role model for everyone.

“Her organisation, communication, and ability to excel in both football and academics is unmatched.

“Jaide is not only elite in her training standards and performance, but the dedication she shows to her studies is something to be admired.”

Senior coach Daisy Pearce said Britton is an inspiration to her teammates both on and off the field.

“The way Jaide balances her football with high-level studies is incredibly impressive. It takes organisation and sacrifice, but she manages it so well,” Pearce said.
