“We are extremely pleased to welcome Sasha back to the club for the new A-League season,” head coach Antoni Jagarinec added.
“Obviously, we know all about the qualities that Sasha has from her previous spell with United and are delighted that she has agreed to return to the place where she began her professional career.
“Sasha knows all about the club, its history, and its expectations, and will be able to hit the ground running.”
