The 13-year-old from Albury Hotspurs has continued to take giant strides, having been identified by Football NSW as an elite talent.

Steele is one of many young players at Spurs to have played trial matches in front of Football NSW and Football Australia coaches.

"She works really hard at her game and loves playing, which are key elements to succeeding," Spurs' coach Justin Wild said.

Steele found the back of the net for the second time in the FA Cup on Wednesday night to help Spurs to a 5-2 victory in the semi-final against Myrtleford, as they booked their place in the final against Wangaratta.

Spurs won't be at full strength for Sunday's clash against Wodonga Diamonds, but will regain leading scorer Elisha Wild from representative commitments.

"I know it will be a difficult game for us," Wild said.

Wangaratta meet Myrtleford, St Pats face Albury United and Melrose has the bye.
