SINGAPORE – Just minutes into her stint as a Brisbane Roar player, Lionesses forward Danelle Tan was already feeling a surge of inspiration.
She had initially planned to stay at German giants Borussia Dortmund for another season after winning the league, but offers then came from top Australian sides and Tan decided on Roar. She was officially unveiled as a Roar player on Aug 8. “It has been incredibly fulfilling to finally put pen on paper and sign a contract. I feel like I’ve made a monumental step in my career, but this is only the beginning.”
Tan will link up with her new teammates when pre-season commences in September with the season starting on Nov 1. The only other Singaporean to feature in Australia’s top tier women’s competition was former national midfielder Lim Shiya, who played for Perth Glory from 2008 to 2009. “Danelle has everything to be successful in this league. Hard work and commitment will be paramount for all the players. Its my job to make sure that happens every session to prepare as best we can for the season.
