STEPPING out of their footy boots and into their high heels, the Knights NRL women's team were dressed to the nines on Tuesday night for an evening of celebrations.

The squad congregated at the NEX in Newcastle on October 8 to let their hair down and mark the end of a strong year on the footy field.

Newcastle were chasing a title three-peat in 2024, but fell one win short of reaching a third consecutive NRLW grand final, losing their semi-final against the Sydney Roosters 25-16.

It was also a chance to say goodbye to several players who are departing the club, including Lashion Albert-Jones who is returning home to New Zealand to join incoming NRLW side the Warriors next year.

Speculations of who was to be named the NRLW Player of the Year was the talk on the red carpet, with a number of contenders waiting in anticipation for the crown.

Awards up for grabs this year include the Thrive award, community player of the year, rookie of the year, Gladiator of the year, NRLW debutants, NRLW representative players, coaches player of the year, player's player and the player of the year.

The event is being live streamed from 6.30pm with viewers welcome to tune in here.
