Brisbane Roar is delighted to welcome back versatile attacker Sharn Freier for the upcoming Liberty A-League season on a multi-year deal.
Freier signed her first professional contract ahead of the 2020/21 season where she made 9 appearances, including 3 starts for the club and scoring her first professional goal in a 6-0 win over Melbourne Victory.
The 22-year-old missed the 2021/22 season due to rehabilitating from an ACL injury, before bouncing back last season playing 16 matches, scoring a goal, and making 2 assists.
The attacker is excited to be re-signing and playing at home in Brisbane for another season to keep pushing and continue her player development.
“Since being at the roar, I feel as though my confidence is building. However, I still have so many more things to work on in my game and I have no doubt with the players around me, I’ll be pushed to make sure that I’m reaching my full potential,” Freier said.
“There are a few new faces this season so I’m looking forward to starting training with the girls and getting to know everyone. As a team I think it’s important to keep building each season, but the goal is to definitely make finals and keep improving.”
Head Coach Garrath McPherson describes the young forward as “an excitement machine in the final third”.
“She is the type of attacker who brings fans to the edge of their seats when she gets the ball isolated against a defender,” McPherson said.
“She is an important part of the club’s success moving forward and will create a legacy under her number. I cannot wait to see her back in with the team and having fun on the field with her teammates.”
