Young Matildas defender Claudia Valletta has joined Glory’s A-League Women’s squad as an injury-replacement player.
The 21-year-old was previously a member of the Bulls FC Academy and has also plied her trade in both Iceland and Italy.
Glory Head Coach Stephen Peters believes that the club’s latest recruit will significantly boost his defensive options.
“Claudia is a player I know well from her time in the NSW NPLW and she has a great deal of potential,” he said.
“A former member of the Future Matildas program, she’s very athletic and dynamic and can operate equally effectively at full-back or centre-back.
“We’re excited to have her on board and look forward to seeing her compete for a place in the backline this season.”
Glory Women are next in action this Sunday when Adelaide United will provide the opposition at the Sam Kerr Football Centre.
Kick-off is at 5pm and tickets are available HERE.
