Glory’s new-look A-League Women’s squad is almost complete following a raft of signing and re-signing announcements this week.
The backline has been significantly boosted by the arrival of Nigerian international Onyinyechi Zogg, who featured in the UEFA Champions League during her time in Europe, along with Naomi Chinnama, who is set to represent the Young Matildas at this month’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.
Philippines World Cup representative Jessika Cowart, meanwhile, is returning for a second season in purple and talented local products Izzy Foletta, Bella Wallhead, Mischa Anderson and Grace Johnston are also back on board.
Newly-appointed Head Coach Stephen Peters also has plenty of quality options in midfield with WA starlet Georgia Cassidy looking to build upon her breakout season in 2023/24 and fellow-teenagers Tijan McKenna and Ischia Brooking out to kick on after returning to their hometown club.
Izzy Dalton will again provide guile, experience and a fine range of passing, while exciting new recruits Ella Abdul-Massih and Sarah O’Donoghue arrive from Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar respectively keen to make an impact.
In terms of firepower up top, two of the most prolific strikers from the east coast NPL competitions have been snapped up in the form of American import Gabby Holler and former New Zealand youth international, Kelli Brown.
Young WA gun Tanika Lala returns for her second season, the ever-dangerous Susan Phonsongkham is also back and providing the x-factor in the final third will be another proven performer with international and English top-flight experience, Welsh winger Megan Wynne.
It is shaping up to be a thrilling season for our women in purple, so make sure you’re there to roar them on to glory – sign up for an ALW Membership HERE.
