Brisbane Roar can today confirm the re-signing of CommBank Young Matildas midfielder Zara Kruger ahead of the 2026/27 Ninja A-League Women season.
The Warwick-born midfielder returned to the Roar in 2024 after a season with Championship-winning Sydney FC and has been a key part of the midfield engine room ever since. A graduate of the Queensland NPL with Lions FC, Kruger has represented Australia at Young Matildas level, including at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.
Speaking on returning for the new season, Zara said, “I’m really excited to be wearing the Roar jersey for another season. I’m looking forward to playing in front of all our fans again and another season of working hard towards finals football.”
New Head Coach Johnathan Clemente welcomed the re-signing, saying, “Zara has been one of the best young talents in the country for many years now and her quality and composure in possession will be a big asset to the squad.”
Kruger’s re-signing continues Brisbane Roar’s push to retain its core of Queensland-produced talent ahead of the new season.
