The 24-year-old joins the Red & Black as one of the W-League’s most successful players after winning two Championships and one Premiership.

Having previously played for Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar, the goalkeeper spent last season recovering from injury after rupturing her ACL in a pre-World Cup friendly against New Zealand in 2015.

“I trained with the Wanderers’ boys before the Olympics and they got me so fit. I wasn’t even a player at the club but they made me so welcome and they really helped my training so I’m looking forward to that aspect: it’s going to build me as a better player”, Dumont said.

“The most exciting thing is that the Wanderers are such a supportive club in every aspect. The men are so interested in the women’s team and the coaches are so welcoming: you ask for anything and they straight away help you.”

As one of the most successful players in the league’s history, Dumont said she had a clear vision of her aspirations for the coming season.

“The goal straight up is finals. There is no doubt in my mind that I’m going to help the team out as much as possible to get the Wanderers their first finals appearance and make it all the way”, she said.

“The squad is going to be of high standard, everyone is going to challenge each other and the coaches are not going to lower their standards: they know what they want and that is performance.”
