Canberra United are pleased to announce that young midfielder Mary Stanic-Floody has committed to the club for the new season following a successful debut campaign in green.
Stanic-Floody, who came to the National Capital after making her mark in the Sky Blue of Sydney FC in the 2023/24 campaign, was part of a raft of United players to make their first-team debut in the memorable 4-4 draw with Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium in South Australia in Round 1 last season.
The midfield playmaker made sixteen appearances for the club in her debut season, opening her goalscoring account in a 5-1 McKellar Park rout of Brisbane Roar in mid-December 2023, adding a second in the 3-1 success over Melbourne City in early February this year.
“Mary made a big impact on the club in her first season with Canberra, and we were very keen to secure her signature for the new A-League season,” Head Coach Antoni Jagarinec commented.
“As a part of the Future Matildas program, we are convinced that Mary has a very bright future in the game, and we are confident that she will be able to reach those levels playing for Canberra United.
“The fans certainly took to Mary, and we are looking forward to seeing her develop further this season.”
Stanic-Floody, who came through the New South Wales system to make her A-League debut with Sydney FC, became United cap number 137 upon her maiden start at the start of last season, and has flourished at the club.
“I have really enjoyed playing for Canberra United, and I am looking forward to continuing to learn as a player in what is a tremendous environment for a young professional player,” Stanic-Floody commented.
“Canberra united believed in my ability by signing me last season, and I am determined to repay that faith by playing to the best of my ability with the club. The City is a fantastic place to live for a young player, and I am learning a lot, plus I love playing in front of the enthusiastic fans!
“I am looking forward to the start of the new season.”
Stanic-Floody has committed to Canberra United for the 2024/25 season, and you can too! Packages for season memberships are available now on our club website at www.canberraunited.com.au.
