Adelaide United is delighted to announce it has signed Japanese midfielder, Reona Omiya, for the upcoming A-League Women 2021/22 season.
The 29-year-old had spent the 2021 NPL Victoria Women season briefly with FC Bulleen Lions before joining South Melbourne FC until the competition was suspended due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking on signing with the Reds, Omiya said: “I am very happy to be given this opportunity to play for Adelaide United.
“It has been one of my dreams to play in the A-League Women competition, so I am really excited that it has come true.
“I can’t wait to meet my new teammates and the rest of the wonderful Reds family, and I hope we can all achieve great things together this season.”
Adelaide United’s A-League Women Head Coach, Adrian Stenta, said: “Reona is a player that boasts a lot of experience and technical prowess.
