Tiana Jaber ended the 23-24 season as a crucial part of the Wellington Phoenix, featuring in the team’s last 11 games.

She signed a new deal for the 24-25 season in July, having loved her original stint in Wellington.

“I had the best time in Wellington,” Jaber, 24, said. “I was actually sad to return home to Sydney at the end of the season.

“The people that I was around, the environment, the lifestyle we had every day at training; everything was just amazing and professional, and I can’t wait to be a part of it again.”

“I know it’s the right environment for me to grow as a player and to keep developing.

Jaber also made her international debut for Lebanon in July, who she qualifies for through her father.
