Australian side Melbourne Victory have made a surprise signing to shore up their injury problems, with Irish star Sarah Rowe coming into the fray down under.
Rowe, who previously played soccer at international level, has since turned her attention to Aussie Rules football, playing for Collingwood in the AFLW.
With Melbourne Victory suffering from a few injuries in the squad, Rowe has signed on an initial three-week deal.
And, though she is not expecting to break in to Vera Pauw’s squad, Rowe said she is allowing herself to dream of next summer’s World Cup, which will be held down under.
Sarah Rowe returns to soccer ahead of World Cup
With honours in Gaelic football and soccer, and a successful career thus far in the AFLW, Sarah Rowe has made a name as quite the multi-talented sportsperson over the years.
She returned to soccer action on Friday night Australian time, as she came on during Victory’s clash with Perth Glory at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
27-year-old Rowe has been down under since 2018, plying her trade for Collingwood in the AFLW.
