Brisbane Roar have continued their off-season rebuild, with confirmation Matildas forward Sharn Freier has signed a new one-year contract extension.
The Moreton Bay United and The Gap FC product has been one of the standout stories of Brisbane Roar’s recent history, rising from A-League prospect to full international and Olympian in the space of a breakout season.

Freier’s form for the Roar earned her four club awards, including Player of the Year, before she secured a club-record transfer to German giants VfL Wolfsburg in January 2025.
She returned to Brisbane on loan last season and will now remain with the Roar for the 2026/27 Ninja A-League campaign.
“I’m really excited to be playing at the Roar for another season,” Freier said, after putting pen-to-paper on her new deal.
“We’ve got a fresh squad and a new coach, so I’m keen to get stuck in and see what we can do this season.
I also can’t wait to play in front of our fans who show up and support us every home game.”

Sharn Freier of Brisbane Roar
New Head Coach Johnathan Clemente said Freier’s continued commitment to the club was a major boost as he begins his tenure.
“Sharn is one of the standout players in the competition and has been for many years, an absolute nightmare to play against and prepare for.
“Sharn at full speed is a scary proposition for the opposition and am excited to have her back.”
It’s been a busy off-season at Brisbane Roar HQ, with last season’s semi-finalists moving plenty of players in and out ahead of the new season.
With former Head Coach Alex Smith departing, Brisbane have appointed former Victory assistant Clemente as their new boss for the upcoming campaign.
Meanwhile first team players Bente Jansen, Ava Piazza, Kyla Hanson, Tameka Yallop, Kiera Meyers, Aimee Medwin, Alicia Woods, Marianna Seidl and Ashlyn Miller have all departed the club.
However, whilst a whole host of top names have left the club Brisbane have been busy extending the contracts as some of their first team players, including Grace Kuilamu, Zara Kruger and now Freier.
