Shout out also to the Welnix owners for investing in setting up a women's team. The club's ALW team now a critical pathway, in the development of young NZ female footballers. $100K a small, well earned return on their investment.
And as others have mentioned Fraser's signing shows to others like Whinham, Errington, Jerez or whoever that there is a pathway - even if it means starting in the ALW with it's minimal wages to start with.

While the Phoenix are remaining tight lipped on the exact sum paid by Utah, it’s understood Fraser’s sale comfortably tops the rumoured $100,000 Bay FC spent to sign Canadian goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx from Melbourne City in February.

If you listen to Domey talking about game day costs, it’s a very handy piece of revenue I’d imagine.
Who was the lass who went to WSW?
And Whinnan seems a very exciting prospect too.
It certainly gives the Phoenix credibility to these players.
