Sydney FC is delighted to announce the signing of Central Coast Mariners Grand Final winning penalty hero Bianca Galic on a three-year contract which will add strength to midfield ahead of the Ninja A-League 2025/26 season.
26-year-old Galic was a goalscoring midfielder for the Mariners striking the net four times in 49 games in two successful seasons in which they made the Finals, lifting the Championship in May this year and walking away with the Mariners’ Player of the Season award too.
She also notched the winning penalty in the previous season’s Elimination Final against Melbourne Victory before being knocked out by the Sky Blues in the semi-finals.
