Dragon #73
An Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles junior, Koster was rewarded with an NRLW debut in Round 1, 2023 and has gone on to 14 topflight appearances notching five tries.
In 2022, Koster became the youngest player to represent the Waratahs at Super W level aged just 16 years and seven months before receiving the Dragons’ Emerging Talent Award in 2023.
She helped lead the Steelers to a Tarsha Gale Cup premiership last year before representing the Under 19s Country side and the Under 19s Blues.
A proud Gweagal and Wiradjuri woman, Koster made her Indigenous All-Stars debut earlier this season and will remain a Dragon until at least the end of the 2027 season.
