New Zealand defender Jess Shilton returns to Alamein for her third NPLW season in 2027, bringing experience across both Australian and New Zealand football.
A composed centre-back, Jess joined Alamein ahead of the 2025 season after representing Waterside Karori in New Zealand's National League, where she also held a leadership role as captain.
She made 20 league appearances for Alamein in her debut season, scoring once, and has since continued competing in New Zealand's National League with Eastern Suburbs AFC during the Australian off-season.
Jess brings experience, consistency and a strong understanding of the game to Alamein's defensive group as she prepares for another NPLW campaign.
