Westfield W-League Grand Final pain appears to have only spurred on Sydney FC in assembling a roster truly capable of making the silverware their own.
The latest Westfield Matildas player to link up with the Sky Blues is ex-Canberra United youngster Amy Sayer, who along with new club team-mate, Princess Ibini, was part of the squad that took on France and England.
Lisa De Vanna, Chloe Logarzo and Caitlin Foord were all part of that group and bless Sydney FC with significant firepower going forward.
Classy centre-back Alanna Kennedy is a huge inclusion after a season away at Melbourne City, while Amy Harrison’s return from a second knee reconstruction is gathering pace and will add a feel-good factor to a collection of stars.
