Hana Lowry, a midfielder for Sydney FC, has officially signed with Norwegian club Vålerenga for an undisclosed transfer fee.
Having arrived at her new home in Norway, Lowry is set to commence training right away as the Scandinavian league is already in full swing.
The talented 22-year-old enjoyed two seasons with the Sky Blues, and her impressive performances earned her a spot in the Matildas squad last season, although an unfortunate knee injury sidelined her.
“This is an incredible opportunity for me, and I’m very thankful to Sydney FC,” Lowry expressed.
“I’m eager to challenge myself in a new league, immerse myself in a different football culture, and continue expanding my understanding of the game.
“The past two seasons have been challenging due to injuries, but I’m appreciative of every moment I’ve had representing the club.
