‘I’m excited to be home. The timing couldn’t be better’
The 32-year-old Matildas midfielder has signed a multi-year deal and is a Roar legend. She played with the club between 2008 and 2018 and won the 2008/09 championship.
She said there was a sense of nostalgia in returning to the Roar and has set her sights on winning another title, while being an inspiration to the younger players in the squad.“I’m excited to be home. Having a World Cup at home just brings the nostalgia back to returning to Brisbane Roar as well, where I did a fair chunk of my youth football. The timing couldn’t be better,” Yallop said.
“The inaugural season and winning the championship is a very fond memory of mine. I am always chasing that feeling again. That will be our team’s aspiration this season and mine as well.”
