“I am excited to be able to welcome Tianah, Janet, and Ivana into the Canberra United program on scholarship deals, and I am certain that they will flourish in the environment and become even better footballers,” head coach Antoni Jagarinec said.
“They were exceptionally good when representing the NPLW All-Stars in the recent friendly match and I brought them into the squad for an extended period off the back of that game, although they had been training with us prior to get a feel of the program.
“The NPL can be a rich breeding ground for talented footballers, one that is sometimes overlooked when compiling squads at Canberra United, but the success of this trio, plus the recent addition of Jaya Bowman, proves the NPL can be a healthy place to look.”
