Western Sydney Wanderers FC have today confirmed the re-signing of young midfielder Talia Younis on a one-year contract.
Younis made history with the Red & Black when making her Liberty A-Leagues debut, breaking the record for the youngest ever debutant in the domestic competition.
The 15-year-old went on to star in 15 matches for the club with her performances seeing her named in the CommBank Junior Matildas squad at the recent AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup.
Head coach Robbie Hooker said he was delighted to retain the talent of Younis.
“We are very proud to be working with Talia for another season as she has undeniable talent,” said Hooker.
“She has grown so much in her first season of the Liberty A-League competition and we will continue to support her growth and development at the club this coming season.”
Younis said she was grateful for the opportunity to continue at the club.
“It was obviously an honour to make my debut for this club, I’ve been at the club since I was 13. I am very grateful, and grateful to the coaches for giving me this playing opportunity,” said Younis.
“Whether starting or coming on, it was just a really good opportunity to get my name out there and try the best I can.
“It wasn’t too hard to settle in with the team, it’s a great bunch of girls and top players. It’s easy to play with high quality players.
“I want to thank my family for all their support and sacrifice that they’ve made for me to reach my dreams and I want to thank the coaches, everyone who has given me the opportunity to grow as a player.”
