Adriana Konjarski (, born 11 October 1995) is a former Australian female footballer who played for Newcastle Jets, Adelaide United, and Melbourne City in the A-League Women. She also featured for South Melbourne, Warners Bay, and Broadmeadow Magic in the National Premier Leagues Women's competition.
Personal life
Konjarski is the daughter of Mark Jones, a former NSL player who later became head coach of Newcastle Jets.
Newcastle Jets
Konjarski initially signed with Newcastle Jets in 2013. After taking a break for one season, she returned to the club in October 2015.
Adelaide United
Ahead of the 2016–17 season, Konjarski transferred to Adelaide United. She netted nine goals during her debut campaign, highlighted by a hat trick in round 12 against the Western Sydney Wanderers.
Zhuhai Suoka Guangdong Football Club
Konjarski had a stint with Chinese club Zhuhai Suoka Guangdong before rejoining Adelaide for the 2017–18 season. During her time in China, she scored 13 goals.
Melbourne City
For the 2018–19 season, she moved to Melbourne City, marking her third club in Australia's premier women's football league and broadening her top-tier experience.
South Melbourne
In 2019, Konjarski signed with South Melbourne, a former NSL team competing in the Victorian Women's Premier League (WNPL). She made her debut facing Bulleen Lions and scored early in her second match against Senior NTC.
Return to Newcastle Jets
Following an impressive season with Warners Bay in the second division, Konjarski made a professional comeback by re-signing with her original club, Newcastle Jets, in October 2022.
Broadmeadow Magic
In February 2023, she returned to the National Premier Leagues Women's by joining Broadmeadow Magic. Leading the league with 35 goals—including a decisive stoppage-time goal in the grand final—Konjarski announced her retirement in March 2024. Her exit, alongside teammate Lucy Jerram who together tallied 59 goals the prior season, left a considerable void in the reigning champions' offensive lineup.
