Sara Eggesvik will depart Western United to take up an opportunity in Europe, signing for LSK Kvinner in Norway.
The Philippines international – who has Norwegian heritage through her father – made 19 appearances for Western last season, her first season at the club.
She scored two goals for the club, both with her head – the first at home against Western Sydney Wanderers and second on the road against Wellington Phoenix.
Following on from her performances at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, Eggesvik continued United’s connection to the Pilipinas by becoming the third capped international to feature for the club.
Eggesvik etched her name into Philippines history at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup after providing the assist for Sarina Bolden’s goal that earned the country their first ever win at a World Cup finals, and she arrived with a prestigious CV.
Western football general manager Mal Impiombato thanked Eggesvik for her commitment to the club and her performances as Western made it deep into another finals series.
“On behalf of everyone at the football club, I would like to thank Sara for her fantastic contributions over the past season,” he said.
“Adding her international pedigree, Sara played a part in securing another finals berth for our Club and adding to the growing history of our women’s program.
“We wish Sara all the very best in her future endeavours and look forward to supporting her from afar.”
Eggesvik will arrive immediately in season in Norway, with LSK Kvinner sitting in fourth place on the table at the halfway point of the campaign.
Eggesvik joins Catherine Zimmerman in departing the club in the off season for other opportunities overseas.
Chloe Lincoln has also announced that she won’t be returning after finishing her contract with Western.
