Perth Glory is delighted to announce that Japanese midfielder Miku Sunaga has joined the club’s A-League Women’s squad for the 2024/25 season.
The 29-year-old arrives in Perth off the back of a stellar year in the NSW NPLW with Macarthur Rams which culminated in her taking out the competition’s Player of the Year Award.
Under current Glory Head Coach Stephen Peters, Sunaga played a key role in driving Macarthur to three successive NSW NPLW titles, making more than 70 appearances and scoring 24 goals along the way.
Having handed her the Rams’ Coach’s Player of the Year Award for the 2024 season, Peters has no doubt that Glory’s latest recruit has what it takes to thrive at ALW level.
“Miku is a talented playmaker who gives us so much attacking versatility as she can play as an inverted winger, a number ten, or even as a false nine,” he said.
“We’ve worked closely together for the past three years so she is well attuned to my coaching style and principles.
“Miku has a great level of humility and discipline and I’m confident that she will prove to be an excellent addition to our squad.”
Sunaga could make her Glory debut in Sunday’s Challenge Cup clash with the Gold Fields WA Women’s State Team at Dorrien Gardens.
