Melbourne City FC is pleased to confirm that New Zealand international Deven Jackson has re-signed with the Club for the 2026/27 season.
Jackson enjoyed a memorable debut season in City blue, making 24 appearances across all competitions as she helped the Club secure the Premiership and Championship double.
The experienced attacker proved a valuable and versatile member of Michael Matricciani’s squad, featuring across the front third and in midfield while continuing to add to her international experience with New Zealand.
Now with 60 Ninja A-League appearances to her name, Jackson’s re-signing provides another boost to City’s squad as the reigning Premiers and Champions prepare to defend their domestic titles and compete in a third consecutive AFC Women’s Champions League campaign.
Melbourne City FC Director of Football Michael Petrillo said Jackson had proven to be a valuable member of the squad in her first season.
“Deven made a really positive contribution in her first season with us and we’re pleased to have her continuing at the Club,” Petrillo said.
“She’s a technically gifted and versatile player who gives us quality across a number of attacking and midfield positions.
“We believe there’s still plenty more to come from Deven and we’re looking forward to seeing her continue to contribute to the team this season.”
Jackson said she was excited to build on a memorable first season in City blue.
“My first season at City was an incredible experience and to finish it as Premiers and Champions was really special,” Jackson said.
“I’ve loved being part of this group and I’m excited to have the opportunity to continue building on what we achieved last season.
“I can’t wait to get back to work and hopefully help the team compete for more silverware this season.”
