Confirmed! Every W-League 2019/20 transfer and squad

The transfer, loan and mutual termination window is wide open and the who's who of female footballing talent is once again making the trek Down Under for W-League 2019/20.

One of the final pieces in Jake Goodships' puzzle, Pickett becomes the 16th Roar signing and a heartwarmer for Brissie fans who have grown to love the American over the years.

“I feel like there’s unfinished business here,” Pickett told Roar’s official website.

“We’re all so ready to get back together chasing that goal that we set three years ago, ahead of my first season, and longer for many of the others.

“There’s a core group of players that have been here together for the last few years – that’s special to have that group and great to keep adding world-class players.”

Pickett joins a talent-packed Brisbane roster brimming with Australian talent and will link up with Matildas Katrina Gorry, Tameka Yallop, Clare Polkinghorne and Hayley Raso in Queensland.

“I’m super excited, I love coming to Australia and my heart is here in Brisbane,” she said.

“We’ve got a great squad and I just can’t wait for the season to start.”
