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 in Green and Black last season.

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.
