Hooker signs deal until 2025/26

Western Sydney Wanderers FC have today confirmed that Liberty A-League head coach Robbie Hooker has signed a two-year contract extension that will see him at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Hooker joined the Wanderers prior to the season commencing and has already guided the Red & Black to some very positive results under his leadership.

Under Hooker, the Wanderers are on the cusp of securing their spot in their second-ever Finals Series appearance and have seen striker Sophie Harding break the clubā€™s record for most goals scored in a single season.

Western Sydney Wanderers Chairman Paul Lederer spoke highly of Robbieā€™s journey so far. 

ā€œWe are delighted with the progress that Robbie and his team have made with our Liberty A-League squad this season,ā€ said Lederer.

ā€œRobbie has ensured that our Wander Women are competitive and follow our club values and expectations.

ā€œThe next two seasons will give Robbie the opportunity to continue to build this team into the future and we are excited to see whatā€™s in store for our next generation of Wander Women.ā€

Head coach Robbie Hooker thanked the clubā€™s belief in him.

ā€œMy start at the club was definitely a rollercoaster ride, but I wouldnā€™t change a thing,ā€ said Hooker.

ā€œI am delighted with the way our Wander Women have responded and absorbed the information my team has given them and we have started to build a strong foundation for seasons to come.

ā€œI would like to thank the club and the board for their ongoing support and Iā€™m excited for the next two seasons with the Western Sydney Wanderers.ā€
