Nanako Sasaki

Adelaide United signed Nanako Sasaki ahead of the A-League Women 2021/22 season. Sasaki has been one of the best players in the local Women’s National Premier League since her arrival in 2017. The impressive midfielder spent four seasons with Adelaide City winning several team and individual honours before switching to Adelaide Comets at the start of this year. With Comets this campaign, Sasaki scored four goals in 24 games and was recently named in the WNPL SA Team of the Year for the third consecutive season. In her second match with the Club, the 22-year-old scored her first goal – an absolute screamer in a 2-1 win over Canberra United.
