The 23-year-old, born and raised in San Diego, USA, brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the squad, having played 24 games and scored 8 goals in the Portuguese top-flight last season.
Healy began her career at Gonzaga University in Washington State, where she showcased her ability as a versatile central player, comfortable in both the defensive and middle thirds of the pitch.

“Erin’s life experience playing overseas in Portugal, especially in a different language and cultural environment, is exactly the type of maturity and adaptability we respect at Adelaide United.
“We believe she’ll fit in seamlessly with our squad, and we’re excited to see her impact on the pitch.”
Erin Healy’s signing underscores Adelaide United’s commitment to strengthening the squad with talented players who bring a diverse range of experiences.
