Another key member of the Bulldogs’ Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership will join the Club’s inaugural NRLW squad, with co-captain Sarahcen Oliver signing on to be elevated in 2025 on a one-year deal.
The New Zealander has enjoyed a fruitful start to her journey with the Bulldogs, which began in the 2023 season, where she was a key contributor in helping steer the side to the Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership Grand Final.

Her elevation to the Club’s NRLW inaugural squad will see her reunite with then grand finalist teammates, Tayla Preston, Angelina Teakaraanga-Katoa, Alexis Tauaneai and Holli Wheeler who will all start back at the Club alongside her for the pre-season.
A talented outside back specialising in the centres, Oliver has hit the ground running in 2024, averaging a try per game as well as collecting doubles in the victories over the Knights in Round 1 and the Eels in Round 6 respectively.
“Sarahcen will be a valuable addition to our inaugural squad,” said Head of Pathways, Adam Hartigan.
“Despite being in just her second year at the Club, she has proven to be reliable out wide with a knack for finding the line. Sarahcen has since established herself as a leader in the squad and at the Club.”
Oliver now officially joins fellow Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership Co-Captain, Latisha Smythe and teammate Pauline Suli-Ruka, all having earned their contracts in the top grade.
The Bulldogs would like to congratulate Sarahcen on her elevation to the NRLW squad in 2025 and look forward to her continued growth and development in the coming season.
