'Unfinished business': Socceroos star seals Reds return
Craig Goodwin will return to his beloved Adelaide United in a major boost for the Socceroos star and the A-League Men outfit. Goodwin links up with the Reds on a three-year deal after two seasons in the Saudi Pro League. The 33-year-old winger was off-contract at now-relegated Al Wehda, having scored 12 goals and 10 assists in 49 appearances. Wednesday's announcement comes after Adelaide United appointed Brazilian-born Airton Andrioli to replace Carl Veart as head coach earlier in the week. Andrioli will be at the helm on a two-year deal, following the Reds' short-lived finals campaign. Adelaide had snuck into the top six after Sydney FC fumbled their chance, before suffering an elimination final loss to Western United. Goodwin says his return to Adelaide for a fourth stint was largely driven by "unfinished business", aiming to pick up where he left off in 2023. He remains in hot form on the international stage, a key figure for the Socceroos as they prepare to face Japan in Perth on June 5 to seal their passage to next year's World Cup. "I'm just really excited to be back home at the club I love the most. There's still unfinished business - I want to win another championship, and another Australia Cup here," Goodwin said in a club statement. "Nothing means more to me than bringing success to Adelaide United. "Playing in front of a packed-out Coopers Stadium has always meant the world to me, and I'll give everything I have to deliver silverware again." Goodwin is one of Adelaide's most decorated players, having ended his most recent stint by winning the Johnny Warren medal for his 15-goal, 10-assist effort in 2022/23. The crafty South Australian winger helped secure the club's 2016 maiden championship after arriving in 2014. In his second stint in 2018, Goodwin's brace launched the Reds to a 2018 Australian Cup final win. The club's all-time leading goalscorer, Goodwin has a total of 60 across 168 appearances. Adelaide football boss Marius Zanin said the club always knew Goodwin would come back. "Craig is a true great of our club, and having him back with us is a huge moment for everyone involved," Zanin said. "We've always stayed in contact since he left, knowing deep down that we'd bring him back home eventually. "Now felt like the right time - not just sentimentally, but strategically."

Marissa Sheva helping fellow American Erin Healy settle into Ireland setup
Success attracts talent and it was inevitable the American diaspora would awaken from Ireland's World Cup watershed. Courtney Brosnan and Kyra Carusa had declared before qualification was secured in 2022, Sinéad Farrelly and Marissa Sheva pledged their allegiance in time for the trip to Australia, while Erin Healy became the latest convert. US-born players pursuing international exposure through ancestry is more prevalent in the women's game due to the status of the national team as Fifa's top ranked nation. Farrelly has since retired and Sheva was omitted from the squad for a period when Eileen Gleeson succeeded Vera Pauw as boss but she's back in favour under Carla Ward. The attacking midfielder has moved closer by joining Sunderland towards the end of the season and is pushing for a start in Friday's penultimate Uefa Nations League fixture against Turkey at the Esenler Stadium in Istanbul (6pm, Irish time). Healy could make her debut in attack and Sheva has been mindful about ensuring the newcomer feels at home in her new habitat. Ward last week flagged a move to England for the striker but her club Adelaide United yesterday announced a contract extension. 'I definitely remember my first camp in Spain,' said 28-year-old Sheva, resonating with Healy's experience this week. 'That always changes things and it's not a home camp in Dublin where everybody feels a little bit more at ease and comfortable. 'I'm trying to just make sure she feels comfortable and is able to perform the way she can and not feel any unnecessary stress outside of being on the pitch.' Turkey may be bottom seeds in the four-team pool that also includes Slovenia and Greece but they almost embarrassed Ireland in Ward's first game at the helm. Sheva is adamant progress has been made since that unconvincing 1-0 win at Tallaght in February. 'Hopefully we can beat Turkey by more than one goal,' said the Pennsylvania native. 'I think this will be a better camp than the first camp against the same opponents. 'There was almost an overhaul of tactics of what we were previously playing. It's really tough to implement that in one, two, or even three camps. 'We're being encouraged to build out from the back more, to be a little bit more aggressive from the getgo, trying to utilise our midfield more. You can't change that overnight.' Once Turkey is done, the squad travel back to Cork for the visit of Slovenia to Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Unless the group leaders drop points against Greece, then Ireland's mission will be to equal or surpass the 4-0 victory the Slovenians achieved in Ward's second match. 'We've good memories from beating France in Cork last year,' she said about returning to the home of Cork GAA.
