Caitlan Johnston-Green, a prominent NRLW player, is preparing to embrace motherhood while planning her return to the field.
With her first child, a daughter, expected to arrive in less than three weeks, this year's Women in League Round takes on greater significance for her.
The round honors the contributions of women across the sport, including players, staff, volunteers, and fans, serving as a reminder for Johnston-Green to build a meaningful legacy.
Having joined the Sharks this season on a three-year contract after winning two titles with the Knights and representing New South Wales and Australia, Johnston-Green is inspired by fellow players, particularly her teammate Nakia Davis-Welsh, who successfully returned to the game after having children.
She views this new phase as an exciting challenge, eager to balance motherhood with her commitment to football.
