Congratulations to Alex Chidiac who has secured a move to Women Empowerment League (WE League) side JEF United Chiba ahead of the inaugural season of Japan’s new professional women’s league.
In doing so, Alex becomes the first Australian player in the WE League, which is due to commence on 12 September 2021.
The move to the Land of the Rising Sun caps off a memorable week for Alex who was also recalled into Tony Gustavsson’s Matildas’ squad for upcoming friendly matches against Denmark and Sweden, as she looks to earn a place in the squad for Tokyo.
After successful spells in the W-League with Adelaide United and Melbourne City, as well as a title-winning campaign in Spain with Atletico Madrid, the 22-year-old midfielder will be looking to make further strides in Japan in the months to come.
