The central midfielder was joined on Glory’s end-of-season honour roll by 20-year-old McKenna, who was named Players’ Player of the Year after a breakout season.
McKenna scored the first two goals of her professional career in 2024-25 and made 20 appearances for Glory, showing her versatility in both midfield and fullback roles.
Glory football director Stan Lazaridis described both Dalton and McKenna as “key players” to the club’s push for a return to the Finals Series in 2025-26.
“Izzy and Tijan are key players for us and having them both locked in again for this season is a huge positive,” Lazaridis said.
“Izzy has been a fantastic leader for this club on and off the pitch since stepping into the captaincy role, while Tijan enjoyed the best season of her career last year and is really starting to fulfil her massive potential.
“Both players are sure to be front and centre as we aim to deliver Finals football this year.”
