Perth Glory have added a young international duo to their W-League squad for next season.

Coach Alex Epakis is confident forward Deborah-Anne de la Harpe, 20, and defender Sarah Morgan, 19, can make a major impact.

De la Harpe is an Australia under-20 international with a wealth of WNPL NSW experience and Morgan is a young Matildas representative who has played for Canberra United in the W-League and Sydney University.

De la Harpe said: “I’m excited to experience a new environment and to learn from the coaching staff.

“I’m also excited for the opportunity and feel that we can achieve a lot as a club.”

Morgan said: “I look forward to experiencing a different environment, learning from the players beside me to make myself and the squad the best we can be for this upcoming season.”

Epakis knows both players from his time coaching in the WNPL NSW.

“Sarah is a player whom I have worked with over the past three seasons at both Sydney University and Canberra United,” Epakis said.

“She is a versatile player who has great positional awareness, good technical ability under pressure and a very good understanding of my playing style.

“More importantly she is a great young lady who is eager to grow as a player.

“This will be a fantastic opportunity for her to really make her mark in a new environment and I am eager to assist her development further.

“Deborah-Anne has been a player I have been aware of and tracking for some time.

“I’ve coached against her in the WNPL NSW and have been impressed with her physical output and technical quality.

“She has a very mature mind-set and level of professionalism for someone so young and is very eager to make to make the most of her first W-League opportunity.

“Both are young players with fantastic pedigree who have represented Australia at young and junior Matildas level and have the relevant qualities to assist in executing the desired playing style.”

Meanwhile A-League defender James Meredith, who was on a one-year deal, has not returned to the club.

He has signed for Macarthur in their inaugural season.

Meredith has two Socceroos caps and was an unused member of the 2018 World Cup squad.

He returned from England where he played for a number of clubs after joining Derby County as a 16-year-old finishing with Championship club Millwall.
