McLean was part of the Sky Blues squad that secured both the Premiership and Championship and returns to the club to help bolster defensive stocks with several players unavailable due to selection for the Young Matildas.
“It feels really special to be back at Sydney FC,” said McLean after inking her new short-term deal.
“This club means a lot to me and the girls have made me feel very welcome again over the past few weeks in training.
She added: “I’ve really enjoyed being back in the environment and I’m excited for the chance to help the team in these last two games.
“Hopefully I can contribute however the coaches need me and help us finish the season strongly.”
Head Coach James Slaveski welcomed the return of the experienced defender and believes she will provide valuable depth during the final weeks of the campaign.
