🚨CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
Northern United Rugby League Football Club is overwhelmingly proud and excited to announce that another one of our talented Women’s Tackle Team members has officially signed with the New Zealand Warriors Women’s NRL squad for the upcoming 2026 NRLW season.
On behalf of the entire family at Northern United Rugby League Football Club, our senior playing group, supporters, volunters, members and life members, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Natalia Hickling on achieving this incredible milestone and making your dreams a reality.
Natalia has always been a fighter with a big heart, never backing down from a challenge and always leading by example. Her hard work, dedication and determination were evident every time she took the field for our three-time premiership winning Women’s Tackle Team and importantly, in her role as Women’s Co-Captain throughout the 2025 season.
This achievement is not only a proud moment for Natalia, but also for her entire family. No doubt there will be tears of joy from mum and dad, and plenty of excitement from her two younger sisters, who have supported her every step of the way throughout her sporting journey.
Deep down, we all knew this opportunity was only a matter of time. We are incredibly proud that the Warriors organisation has recognised Natalia’s talent, commitment and leadership qualities.
From everyone at The Mighty Dirawong’s, we wish Natalia all the very best for her inaugural NRLW season with the Warriors. The entire Bundjalung Nation will be proudly watching, cheering and supporting you every step of the way.
"Congratulations Natalia Hickling"
