Jayme Harken Named WAFLW State Team Captain

The Queenslea and Oryx Communities are proud to celebrate Claremont Football Club player Jayme Harken, who has been named Captain of the WAFLW State Team — a significant milestone in her football career and a reflection of her leadership both on and off the field.

This achievement recognises Jayme’s consistency, dedication, and growing influence within the game, and highlights her continued impact across Western Australian football.

Through our ongoing partnership with Claremont Football Club, we are fortunate to support Jayme’s journey and have witnessed firsthand the commitment and professionalism she brings to every aspect of her sport.

Recently, Jayme visited The Queenslea, where she spent time with residents sharing her football journey. During her visit, she spoke about teamwork, resilience, and the importance of pursuing personal goals — values that strongly resonate with both sport and community life.

Residents also enjoyed an interactive Q&A and had the opportunity to engage with Jayme directly, making it a memorable and inspiring morning for everyone involved.

Following her appointment, Jayme has continued to demonstrate outstanding leadership, including a strong performance in her State Team debut where she helped lead Western Australia to a memorable victory over South Australia.

Her captaincy is not only a personal achievement but also a reflection of the leadership qualities she consistently demonstrates within her club, her team, and the broader football community.

At Oryx Communities, we value opportunities that connect our residents with inspiring individuals who are making a positive impact in their fields. Jayme’s visit is a wonderful example of how sport can bring people together across generations.

We congratulate Jayme on this well-deserved appointment and look forward to following her continued success throughout the season.
