Adelaide United can provide the following update to Head Coach, Adrian Stenta’s, squad for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.
Local forward, Chrissy Panagaris, has signed with the Reds for the remainder of the season from Adelaide Comets to bolster Stenta’s offensive stocks. Panagaris has signed as an injury replacement for Emily Condon, who has been ruled out for the rest of the 2022/23 campaign.
“Chrissy is a quality forward who definitely knows where the back of the net is, scoring 26 goals in 21 games across all competitions last year,” Stenta said.
“Chrissy has had some experience with our professional set-up as a train-on player in the past and has continued to work hard to take the next step in her career.
“We’re very happy to be affording this opportunity to someone who has continued to improve and impress on the park.
“At the same time, it is disappointing to have Emily ruled-out for the rest of this season.
“Her on-going groin issues have hampered what was set to be another strong season from her, but we hope she will be able to rest and recover and get back to her best as soon as possible.”
Following last week’s departures of Chelsie Dawber and Xiao Yuyi, after the conclusions of their loans, Abby Middleton has also departed the Club to seek further playing opportunities with Football South Australia’s NTC.
In unfortunate injury news, Hannah Holgersen, who signed a short-term contract ahead of United’s Matchweek 16 game against Canberra United, suffered a knee injury during her debut and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
“Hannah suffered a very unfortunate injury after coming on against Canberra last weekend and this will see her out for a number of weeks.
“We are hopeful, though, for both Ella Tonkin and Sasha Coorey to return to action in the next couple of weeks, which will be welcomed by the whole squad.
“Ella has been out since Round 3 as a result of the fractured foot she sustained and Sasha has been sidelined for the last month-and-a-half.
“Both players have worked very hard to get back to full-fitness before the end of the season and we’re looking forward to having them back in a competitive capacity.”
