Alexia Apostalakis signs for City Women.

Bristol City Women are pleased to announce the signing of Australian defender Alexia Apostolakis.

The versatile 20-year-old makes the switch following her two-year tenure with A-League Women side Melbourne City.

Born in Sydney, Apostolakis progressed through the youth setups at St George FA and the FC Barcelona Academy Sydney before beginning her senior career with the Western Sydney Wanderers.

Making her A-League Women debut in December 2021, she became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Wanderers at 15 years and 279 days old.

In July 2024, Apostolakis moved to Melbourne City to further her development in the top flight.

Internationally, Apostolakis has consistently represented Australia across youth formats, featuring heavily for Australia Under-20’s.

Apostolakis received her first call-up for the senior Matildas in 2025, when she was added to the extended squad for two friendlies against South Korea, before making her senior debut against Panama on July 5th, 2020.

On signing for City, she said: “It feels pretty surreal to be here. I got here a few days ago, and I’ve just been taking in the environment.

“I've already met quite a few people, and I just feel so welcomed, so I’m really excited to get going.”

Head Coach Charlotte Healy added: “We’re absolutely delighted that Alexia has chosen to join us. Alexia was well sought after across the world, so we’re absolutely delighted she’s chosen to join our project.

Alexia is without a doubt one of Australia’s best young talents. She has fantastic experience for her age both domestically and internationally and has most recently captained the Matildas U23 team alongside winning the A League Premiership with Melbourne City last season.

I have no doubt Bristol City fans will love seeing her represent our club. She is hard-working, tenacious, and has a fantastic mentality, which is what we want here. She will be a fantastic addition to our squad- we’re really excited to have her with us.”
