A Homecoming for Cortnee Vine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vine has spent the past two years playing in the NWSL<\/strong> with NC Courage after making the move away from Australian football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her return represents an exciting homecoming for the attacker, who has established herself as an important player for the Matildas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now back in Australia, Vine will have the opportunity to compete for more domestic honours with the reigning A-League champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melbourne City are coming off a successful campaign and will be hoping to retain their position at the top of the Australian women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrival of Vine gives the champions another experienced attacking option and adds a player with international pedigree to their squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her familiarity with the Australian football environment should also help her settle quickly following her return from the NWSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
