Western Sydney Wanderers FC are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Brianna Edwards until the end of the 2026/27 Ninja A-League season.
Edwards developed through New Zealand’s youth and senior pathways before moving to the A-Leagues competition where she signed her first professional contract with Wellington Phoenix. Most recently, the shot-stopper played for the club’s cross-town rivals where she made 9 appearances in the competition.
During the off-season, Edwards has continued to refine her game at NSW National Premier League Women’s side Illawarra Stingrays, gaining valuable experience and maintaining her competitive edge ahead of the new season.
Internationally, Edwards made her debut for the New Zealand National Team on 7 February 2024 against Tonga in the 2024 OFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament, keeping a clean sheet in a 3-0 win. Her performances on the international stage underline her shot-stopping ability, composure and leadership from the back.
Edwards said she was looking forward to the new opportunity at the Wanderers.
“I was looking for new experiences and opportunities to keep growing my game as a player. The Wanderers have a great set-up and environment, so that really pushed me to come here,” said Edwards.
“We want to push for Finals Football. This team has so much potential, and I think we can make a real impact on the league. Personally, I want to continue developing and pushing my game. Get ready for lots of energy and a huge impact on the field.”
Head coach Geoff Abrahams welcomed Brianna’s experience to the squad.
“Brianna is an experienced goalkeeper with international pedigree and a proven record in the A-League Women. She brings composure, confidence and leadership to our squad, and we’re excited to see her grow with the Wanderers as we head into the 2025/26 season.”
