Matildas star’s return to Western United a ‘big statement of our ambition’: ‘Just about unstoppable’

Western United have re-signed CommBank Matildas star Chloe Logarzo for the 2024-25 Ninja A-League Women season.

Logarzo – a two-time A-Leagues champion – returns for a third consecutive season at Western in a huge boost for the ambitious club following an almost “unstoppable” 2023-24 campaign.

The Australia international scored nine goals and supplied three assists in 17 matches last term as she was crowned Western United’s Player of the Season and Fan’s Player of the Season, secured second place in the Julie Dolan Medal standings and returned to the CommBank Matildas squad.

“Coming back was not a hard decision at all, I love the club, I love the people who are here, I love my teammates – so it was easy for me to come back.

“I’m finally going to be able to lace up and get on the field at Ironbark Fields. I’m really looking forward to this year and hopefully we can bring home some silverware.”
