“This club and this City means a lot me and it’s going to be an exciting season with Jake coming in as Head Coach, as well as a strong squad that I’m sure will have us fighting for silverware once again.”
Arnold, who has played 36 times for Roar, has established herself as one of Australia’s premier shot-stoppers in her three previous seasons at the club.
She is currently playing in America’s National Women’s Soccer League season on loan at Chicago Red Stars, alongside Sam Kerr.
“Brisbane Roar has always been a Club which produces a great number of national team players and it’s great to have members of the Westfield Matildas playing in the Brisbane orange once again,” Goodship said.
“It’s shaping to be an exciting season for our passionate supporters and we’re looking forward to getting the hard work started.”
