Perth Glory forward Susan Phonsongkham and young midfielder Sarah O’Donoghue have both signed fresh one-year contracts with the club ahead of the Ninja A-League 2025-26 season.
Phonsongkham returns in purple and orange for a fifth season after an injury-impacted 2024-25 campaign, which saw the creative attacker go 341 days without a Ninja A-League appearance before scoring on return against Western United in March.
The Australia Under-20 international will be key to Glory’s hopes of a Finals Series berth in 2025-26 with a full pre-season under her belt; joining Phonsongkahm in preparing for another term at the club is 20-year-old O’Donoghue, who signed in mid-2024 and instantly made an impact for her new side.
O’Donoghue scored three goals and notched four assists in just 15 appearances as she quickly became a clear goal threat from midfield for Glory.

“Sarah was an absolute standout for us last season, making a huge contribution to our attacking output,” said Glory football director Stan Lazaridis.
“She’s still only 20 and we are excited to see her continue her development again this year.
“It will also be fantastic to see Susan back to her dynamic best.
“We know what she’s capable of in the attacking third where she always makes something happen and keeps defenders on their toes.
“Having both Sarah and Susan locked in for 2025-26 is something I’m sure our Members and fans will be delighted about.
