Western Sydney Wanderers FC forward Holly Caspers has re-signed on a two-year deal that will see her at the club until the end of 2025/26.

Caspers has had a breakout second season at the Red & Black and is leading the league with seven assists to her name as well as five goals.

The forward has played an instrumental role in one of the Wanderers strongest seasons yet of the Liberty A-League competition with Caspers creating 13 scoring chances for teammate Sophie Harding this season – the most of any pair in the competition.

Robbie Hooker spoke highly of Casper’s contribution both on and off the field.

“It’s great news that Holly has decided to re-sign, and she’s done really well over the last few months. She’s not only provided some variety in our attack but she has contributed with goals and assists in a meaningful way,” said Hooker.

“Having a player of her attitude, commitment and her ability is something that the club is looking forward to having for the next two years.”

Caspers said she was looking forward to continuing her development at the club.

“It’s given me a lot of confidence (recent performances), it’s great to have skills, but if you don’t have the confidence to back yourself to be able to perform on the day it can be hard to hold a position in the team,” explained Caspers.

“I’m really grateful for the coach and the girls around me in lifting each other’s confidence, and being able to perform each game.”

“What I love about the club is not just the professionalism in the facilities we have, but there is a big thing in this club about loyalty which I really respect. I think the opportunity that Robbie Hooker has given me and the way I have been able to perform under him as a coach, has been a more enjoyable experience playing football.

“I don’t think my time at the Wanderers is just done, I feel like i’ve only just started here in showing what I can do and I think I can bring so much more to the club. The experience I’ve had this season has been so enjoyable, so I want to continue that over the next two years.

“A big goal for this team is to get some silverware and trophies, but personally for me is just to keep developing as a player.”
