At the young age of 15, Mackenzie wastes no time making a name for herself in the world of junior sport. She has caught the eye of her coaches, clubs, and national selectors to join the Wellington Phoenix development program this month. Years of hard work on and off the football field have led to this defining moment in Mackenzie’s leap to the big league. This program looks to build on young athlete’s key skills and confidence, helping Mackenzie and other youth footballers across Aotearoa create a clear aspiration pathway and take the next step in the world of football.

NZWindows is excited to support Mackenzie and bring you along on her journey, as we check in with her throughout the year. So, watch this space, as we don’t doubt for a second that she’s going to be the next big name in the women’s football scene.
