Sydney FC has announced the signing of goalkeeper Jada Whyman on a two-year contract, marking the return of one of the club's most accomplished players. The 26-year-old rejoins the Sky Blues after spending two seasons with AIK in Sweden, where she established herself as a key player.

Whyman's Successful Tenure at Sydney FC

During her previous stint with Sydney FC from 2020 to 2024, Whyman made 73 appearances and played a pivotal role in the team's success, contributing to three consecutive Premierships and back-to-back Championships. Her performances earned her accolades, including the 2021 Grand Final Player of the Match and selections in three PFA A-League Women Teams of the Season, as well as the 2024 A-League All Stars squad.

Excitement for the Future

Whyman expressed her enthusiasm about returning to Sydney FC, stating, “I’m incredibly happy to be coming back to Sydney FC – this club has always felt like home to me and I had the most successful period of my career here.” She emphasized her eagerness to compete for trophies again and highlighted the significance of the upcoming year, particularly with the FIFA Women’s World Cup approaching in June.

Head Coach James Slaveski is optimistic about Whyman's return, noting her experience and winning mentality as valuable assets to the squad. He remarked, “Jada is a proven goalkeeper at this level and we’re delighted to bring her back to Sydney FC.” With Whyman back in the fold, Sydney FC looks poised for a strong season ahead.
