Western Sydney Wanderers have signed teenage defender Maya Lobo for the 2024-25 Ninja A-League season.
Lobo joins the Wanderers on a scholarship contract for the upcoming campaign, with Western Sydney due to kick-off their season against Newcastle Jets on Sunday.
“I already had some familiar faces here when I joined that made the transition process easy – everyone is really approachable, and I already feel part of the team,” said Lobo.
“We also have a lot of new players like me, so we must get used to our own styles of play and gel quickly as a group to be ready for the season ahead.”
Lobo is the sixth new arrival at the Wanderers, joining Ena Harada, Milly Bennett (scholarship contract), Sienna Saveska, Talia Kapetanellis and Paige Hayward at the club.
“Maya has put in the effort to get to where she has and seeing her work alongside some of our players in the off-season, I felt she definitely had the talent, but also the temperament to fit into our squad seamlessly,” said head coach Robbie Hooker.
