Brisbane Roar is excited to confirm the re-signing of young Queensland forward Grace Kuilamu for the 2026/27 Ninja A-League Women season.
A product of Souths United FC and the Football Queensland Academy of Sport, Kuilamu made history as the youngest ever Ninja A-League Women’s goalscorer on debut in 2023 and has continued to develop into one of the competition’s most exciting young attacking talents having scored 9 times in 26 appearances since joining the club.
Kuilamu returns to the Roar after her season was cut short last season having suffered an ACL injury with aim of returning to being a key contributor this upcoming campaign.
Speaking on recommitting to the club Kuilamu said, “I’m grateful and excited to keep playing for my hometown club. This is where I’ve grown up as a footballer, and I can’t wait to keep improving with this group. I still feel like I’ve got so much more to give, and I want to keep repaying the faith the club has shown in me.”
New Head Coach Johnathan Clemente said Kuilamu’s re-signing reflected the club’s commitment to developing homegrown talent.
“Grace is an outstanding young talent with a huge ceiling and keeping her at the club is a great sign of what we’re building for the future. Her movement and finishing in and around the box are well beyond her years, and she’s going to be a real focal point for us in attack.”
Kuilamu’s continued development remains a key part of Brisbane Roar’s long-term pathway program for young Queensland talent.
