Joanne "Joey" Rebecca Burgess (born 23 September 1979) is an Australian international soccer player, who plays for Western Sydney Wanderers in the Australian W-League.

Career[]

Burgess was raised in Campbelltown and began her career in the National Soccer League during the 1999–2000 season where she played for the NSW Sapphires.[1]

W-league[]

Burgess joined Sydney FC in the inaugural W-League season. Following that one-year stint, Burgess joined Brisbane Roar FC for 5 years, where she played on the wing.[2]

During her time at Brisbane she played in 4 grand finals in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014, winning in 2011.[3] After the 2014 W-League Grand Final, Burgess retired from professional soccer.[4][5]

Return from retirement[]

In 2016, Burgess came out of retirement to play for Western Sydney Wanderers[6] as a more experienced player who could help a team that was consistently at the bottom of the table.[7] Burgess was particularly excited to play for the Wanderers as she grew up in Western Sydney.[8][9] She retired a second time after one season with the Wanderers.
