Brisbane Roar have added significant finals experience to their backline for the 2026/27 season, confirming the signing of defender Annabel Martin.
Martin arrives at Roar Park having won the 2024/25 A-League Women Championship with Central Coast Mariners and brings more than 100 A-League Women appearances to the club. She began her career as a 16-year-old at Melbourne Victory, before spells at Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix, and three seasons at the Mariners.
Head Coach Johnathan Clemente said Martin’s leadership and finals pedigree would strengthen the squad heading into the new campaign.
“Annabel’s record in the league speaks for itself, Premiership & Championship winner with over 100 appearances. Experienced leader and defender with quality at both ends of the field, I know she’ll run through brick walls to be successful and can’t wait to see her do it in Brisbane.”
Martin said she was looking forward to linking up with her new teammates.
“I am super excited to be a part of the Brisbane Roar family. This club has such a great history, and I look forward to getting straight to work with Johno and the girls to bring home more silverware.
“I can’t wait for the season to start and to be playing in front of all the passionate fans, competing and giving it my all. Playing away in Brisbane was never easy, so I’m glad to be on the same side now.”
