You'd hope yes another ALW team would give her a go.
Newcastle basically have a Kiwi coach now with Stephen Hoyle.

Rebecca Lake looks back on her time in Wellington with fondness, despite injuries curtailing her involvement on the pitch.
“Although my last season ended with injury, I loved my time at the Nix,” Lake said.
“Thank you to the club, my teammates, and the incredible fans. I’ll always treasure the memories, and I look forward to what’s next.
“I wish the club all the best for the upcoming season. They have an awesome team, excellent staff, top-class facilities, and I’m confident they’ll make the finals this season.”
Phoenix head coach Bev Priestman spoke to Lake to tell her the club wouldn’t be offering her a new contract.
“Having that conversation was not easy given how hard Bex has worked to get to this point,” Priestman said. “She will be a great addition wherever she heads next.
“I have tracked Bex for some time and got to see her play live up here when Cashmere Tech played the Phoenix reserves, and she had a really good game.
“She was a great asset to the club, a good character in the dressing room by all accounts, and we wish her all the best moving forward.”
