Taylor has spent the past week training with Adrian Stenta’s Adelaide squad; the Reds head coach says the club’s newest signing will bring a number of important qualities to the playing group.
“This is a really exciting opportunity both for the Club and Rosetta and I can’t wait personally to see what she can bring to the A-League after experience around the world,” he said.
“She is a sharp, quick player with great vision and footwork, and we hope she can contribute to some positive play for us this season.
“Rosetta has already been training with the group in what has been a seamless transition, so we’re looking forward to a great season ahead.”
