Berryhill arrived at Wanderers Football Park this week, and has undergone her medical checks. She is expected to play against the Central Coast Mariners on Sunday night in Round Seven action.
Berryhill, 30, has played 119 A-League games for Sydney FC, Newcastle Jets and Western United over the past 14 years and will be a welcome addition to the talented Wanderers’ midfield.
Berryhill, who has 59 caps for the Matildas, recently signed with Italian club Como 1907, after the collapse of A-League Women’s club Western United. However, things haven’t panned out in Italy for Berryhill, who will want to ensure she has plenty of game time under her belt, with the Matildas set to host the Women’s Asian Cup in February next year.
Berryhill’s storied career has taken her across the globe, playing in Sweden, USA and Norway since she first played in 2011.
The dual Olympian (2016 and 2020) also appeared at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. She missed out on the 2023 World Cup which was hosted in Australia, and will be determined not to suffer the same disappointment for the Asian Cup in 2026.
Wanderers fans should be excited with the prospect of Berryhill teaming up with the likes of So-Eun Kim, Olivia Price, Ena Harada, Talia Younis and Amy Chessari in the middle of the park.
The Wander Women showed plenty of energy against archrivals Sydney FC in a pulsating local derby at Marconi Stadium.
Despite the game ending 0-0, the Wanderers outplayed their second placed opponents, and were unlucky not to come out of the game with a win.
New signing Cong Yuan was excellent for the Wander Women, showing plenty of energy and strength up front.
Along with Holly Caspers and Talia Younis, Yuan is expected to provide plenty of goals for the Wanderers this season, especially with the likes of Berryhill feeding her plenty of the ball.
The Wanderers’ have one of the strongest squads they have had in their history this season, and with 17 rounds still remaining, there is plenty for the Red & Black faithful to be excited about.
