Collingwood would like to congratulate Sarah Rowe on her recent signing with Irish national soccer league side, Bohemian Football Club for the 2023 season.

Rowe, who recently spent time playing soccer with Melbourne Victory, will return home to Ireland next week and will train full-time in a soccer environment.

“Collingwood supports Sarah’s decision to return to Ireland for this opportunity and will remain in constant contact with her throughout this time,” Collingwood’s Head of Women’s Football Jess Burger said.

“We understand that soccer is a passion of Sarah’s and that this is a great opportunity for her.

“Sarah remains committed to her growth and development in our AFLW program and both Sarah and her management will continue to work closely with Collingwood to manage her individual program whilst she’s away.

“We wish her all the best for her time with the Bohemian Football Club and look forward to her re-joining our program for the 2023 AFLW season.”
