Player Profile - Kate Allbon-Sargeant


Name: Kate Allbon-Sargeant
Position: Defender
Nationality: New Zealand
Debut: 2011
Honours:  2012 AFL Quebec Women's Preseason Cup.

Player Bio: Made and impressive debut in 2011 playing with an injured hand in the Quebec AFL. Returned in 2012 injury free and made an instant impact for the Montreal Angels proving a jewel in the Angels' defensive set-up.

Kate's fearless attack on the ball has been her signature in 2012. Often found extracting the ball from the bottom of a pack, it's her cool and calm demeanour under pressure that allows her to be the Angels' driving force out of defence. Made a stellar contribution to the Angels 2012 Pre-Season Cup victory helping restrict the opposition to only two goals in two games.

Kate has also made waves in the Quebec AFL playing up forward for the Laval Bombers. Her outstanding football knowledge shines through for the Bombers as Kate plays the role of small-forward. The proof of her talent coming with several hauls of multiple goals for the red and black.
