Canberra United are pleased to announce the signing of JuniorMatildas forward Sienna Dale ahead of the 2025/26 Ninja A-League Women’s Season.
Fresh off her third season of First Grade Football with Manly United, Dale is known for her pace and eye for goal, and will be a welcome addition to United’s attacking firepower.
“We’re super excited to have Sienna join the squad ahead of the Ninja A-League season,” said Head Coach Antoni Jagarinec of the new signing.
“She is a young forward on the rise, and has already shown her quality on the international stage with the Junior Matildas.
“Sienna fits perfectly into the profile of the type of player we want to bring to Canberra United, a young and hungry player who is coachable and takes on the advice of experienced players. She’ll gain plenty of confidence as a player from being in and around this group.”
Sienna’s performances for Manly United in 2023 attracted the attention of the Junior Matildas setup and in September of that year, she played a starring role as Australia qualified for the 2024 U-17 Women’s Asian Cup. Not content with a match-winning double when Australia beat Vietnam 2-1, Dale scored all four goals as Australia beat Bangladesh 4-0.
“I’m incredibly excited to be joining Canberra United for the new season,” said Dale of her signing announcement.
“It’s been my dream to play professionally and I’m incredibly grateful to Ant and the rest of the coaching staff for giving me this opportunity.
“I can’t wait to get down to Canberra and start training with the team, and learn as much as I can off of everyone.”
Dale has played 38 games in the New South Wales NPL Women’s competition with Manly United, scoring eight goals, and was named striker of the month in August, with three goals in five games.
