Winger Roberts joins ALW squad on injury-replacement contract

Winger Morgan Roberts has joined Glory’s Ninja A-League squad on an injury-replacement contract.

The 29-year-old was a key member of the NWS Spirit side which secured a top-six finish in last season’s NSW NPLW competition.

Roberts made more than 150 first-grade appearances during her time with Spirit, topping their goalscoring chart in 2023 and played alongside fellow-Glory new recruit Ella Abdul Massih last term.

Glory Head Coach Stephen Peters believes that the club’s latest signing is more than capable of making the step up to ALW football.

“Morgan’s pace makes her a real threat in wide areas,” he said, “and she also has a keen eye for goal.

“She has been one of the most effective forwards in the NSW NPLW for some time and has definitely earned this opportunity to take her game to the next level.

“We look forward to seeing her make an impact for us in the coming weeks.”

Roberts has been named in Glory’s extended squad for Sunday’s season-opener against Melbourne City.
