The captaincy announcement was made during the club’s glittering Season Launch event which was attended by more than 250 guests at Fraser’s Restaurant in iconic Kings Park on Tuesday morning.
Taggart, who took out the A-League Golden Boot last season, will lead his hometown club for a second year having shared skippering duties with Mark Beevers during the 2023/24 campaign.
The 31-year-old has now scored a remarkable 47 goals in 86 appearances for Glory and his stellar performances in 2023/24 saw him take out the Most Glorious Player, Players’ Player of the Year and Members’ Player of the Year awards.
Midfielder Dalton, meanwhile, made 19 appearances in what was her debut campaign in purple last year, scoring a spectacular maiden goal for the club against Canberra United in Round 13.
The 27-year-old will share the armband with central defender Zogg who signed for Glory during the off-season having previously played extensively at the top level in Germany, France and Switzerland.
Zogg, 27, has also tasted UEFA Women’s Champions League action and represented Nigeria at senior international level.
Glory CEO Anthony Radich believes that all three players will serve the club with distinction on and off the pitch.
“We’re thrilled to confirm Adam, Isobel and Onyinyechi as our captains for the new season,” he said.
“In addition to being top-quality performers in their respective positions, all three are excellent characters who have demonstrated strong leadership skills and attributes.
“They will provide exactly the kind of guidance that our young, dynamic, new-look ALM and ALW squads need, while also playing a key role in spearheading our efforts to reengage with the local football community and reignite Glory in 2024/25.”
