Danelle Tan, a forward for the Singapore Lionesses, made her highly anticipated debut in the A-League Women for Brisbane Roar. Coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute, Tan was involved in some attacking plays, but the Roar ultimately lost 2-1 to Canberra United. Despite the defeat, Tan expressed pride in her professional debut and a desire to learn from the experience.
Singapore forward Danelle Tan taking on Canberra United defender Alex McKenzie while making her A-League Women debut with Brisbane Roar in a 2-1 loss on Jan 4.SINGAPORE – Lionesses forward Danelle Tan’s eagerly anticipated A-League Women debut lasted only about 20 minutes, but the drama and intensity have left her yearning for more.
But Emma Robers equalised in the 81st minute with a long-range effort before Michelle Heyman completed the comeback for Canberra seven minutes later despite suspicions of handball. “Personally, it felt especially gratifying since I was coming back from a knee injury that put me out of action for close to two months. I was really excited to finally be playing in front of the fans at our home stadium, and just getting on the field and finally playing football again.
Tan is only the second Singaporean footballer to feature in Australia’s top-tier women’s competition, following former national midfielder Lim Shiya, who played for Perth Glory in 2008-09. In August, she signed her first professional contract with the Roar until the end of the 2024-25 season. But the A-League Women, which in recent years has become a platform for players such as Australia captain and Chelsea forward Sam Kerr, is a different ball game.
