Delayed concussion symptoms after a Friday night clash with the Cats put the 2017 All-Australian out of action, before bone fibula bone stress put a line through her second season as a Saint.
Despite hitting the scoreboard once last season, McCarthy proved her pace underfoot was without equal following several blitzing passages of play to drive her side into attack.
McCarthy was voted as co-vice-captain alongside Tilly Lucas-Rodd in 2021 after forming part of the Saints’ leadership group in their inaugural season.
