STAR striker Michelle Heyman has re-signed with Canberra United for the 2021/22 W-League season.
Heyman, a two-time Julie Dolan Medal winner, says she’s excited to start her tenth season with the club, due to kick off on November 13.
“I absolutely loved everything about last season and can’t wait to be back training and playing with the girls,” Heyman says.
“I’m just so happy and grateful for another opportunity to represent Canberra, play in front of our amazing fans and push for another finals appearance.”
The 61-cap Matilda unexpectedly hung up her boots in May 2019, but returned to United last season, playing 100 games with the club and helping them make the finals.
Heyman, 33, has 73 goals to her name in the W-League, including 61 for Canberra United.
Canberra United coach Vicki Linton said she’s happy to have the W-League veteran back in the squad.
“I really enjoyed seeing her [Heyman] come back to the game last year and do so well and I hope she enjoys another great season this year,” she said.
