Sydney FC today announced the major signing of Perth Glory’s Young Matildas star Hana Lowry on a two-year deal.
The 21-year-old midfielder, a produce of the Football West NTC program made her debut for her hometown team Perth Glory back in 2019, ironically against Sydney, and has gone on to make 72 appearances for the Western Australian club, scoring 11 goals.
Speaking today about her decision to swap purple for sky blue, the Young Matilda said: “I am so excited to be joining the biggest club in the country. Sydney have always been challenging at the top of the table and I believe that they can take my game to another level.
“I will try my absolute hardest to help this club win more silverware and win their third Championship in a row and I can’t wait to get started.”
Reflecting on her time at the Glory, the 21-year-old said: “I would like to say a massive thank you to Perth for these last five years. Representing my hometown club has meant everything to me.
“I have grown so much as a player and as a person and I can’t thank everyone at the club enough for all the opportunities that I have been given. Whilst it’s time for a new chapter, I will always cherish the incredible memories I have made here and I want to wish the club all the best going forward.”
Lowry played every minute of the 2023/24 season for Perth, winning the Most Glorious Player award for the campaign as a result.
Sydney FC boss Head Coach Ante Juric was delighted to capture the Western Australian, who will team up once more with Millie Farrow, one of her teammates at the Glory last season.
“Hana is an outstanding player full of class and quality and she is a fantastic signing for the club,” Juric said.
“She has the quality to go to another few levels in her play and I am looking forward to seeing her grow, shine, and become a Sydney FC star. Hana is the type of player fans come to watch. I have no doubt with her play she will fit in well at Sydney and in no time will become a fan favourite.”
