Despite having only just turned 14, Wing has already scored three times in the Northern Championship, including a double in Saturday's 9-3 loss at second-placed Devonport, to the delight of coach Jo Haezebrouck.
"She is young but so mature," he said.
"Her physique is an advantage but she also has the instinct of a goalscorer and I'm looking forward to working with her in the future."
Wing plays alongside older sisters Chelsea and Georgia and also in an under-16 NTJSA side coached by Georgia on Friday nights at Churchill Park.
"It is great because we no longer have to rely on Meg (Connolly) who has a reputation now after scoring 42 goals last season and in some games has two players on her all the time," Haezebrouck added.
