Tameka Yallop is the second-highest goal scorer in A-League Women's history. And when you look back upon her career, there’s little wonder why. By 12 years old, Meeks was already playing in Open Women's football teams and just four years later made her Matildas debut.

By 17,  she was playing in the inaugural season of the W-League, which set her up for success in some of the world’s best football leagues – playing in seven different countries throughout her career.  

Now in 2026, she’s back raring to go, where it all began at the Brisbane Roar.

You can watch Tameka and the Brisbane Roar during this weekend’s A-League elimination finals, live and free on 10.com.au.
