Lily Alfeld has impressed in her first two matches for Perth Glory in the W-League.
When Perth Glory coach Alex Epakis called and asked Lily Alfeld to drop everything and move to Western Australia to play in the W-League, she didn’t have to think for long before saying yes. It had been nearly three years since she had returned home after four years in the college system in the United States, and she had been looking for an opportunity to further her football career without having much luck. Most recently, she had been keeping track of the Wellington Phoenix’s push for a place in the Australian women’s competition, but when their hopes were crushed in November, she – like many others in New Zealand – had resigned herself to a summer break and a fresh start in the new year.
