Matildas midfielder Alex Chidiac is returning to Melbourne Victory after signing with the club until the end of the 2025-26 A-League Women season.
- Chidiac has previously played for the Victory in the A-League Women competition
- She won the Julie Dolan Medal last year
- Chidiac most recently played club football in Mexico
Chidiac won the 2021-22 championship with the Victory and was named Julie Dolan Medal winner as the A-League Women's best player last season.
She most recently played in Mexico while on loan from NWSL club Racing Louisville in the United States.
The 24-year-old was a member of the Matildas' squad at this year's FIFA World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Chidiac joins Victory coach Jeff Hopkins's squad ahead of Saturday's match against Western Sydney Wanderers.
"Victory has become like a second home to me," Chidiac said in a Victory statement.
"Working with Jeff and the team brings out the best in me as a footballer and I'm looking forward to helping the team win more silverware over my time here."
Hopkins said signing Chidiac was crucial to Victory's hopes of winning a fourth A-League Women championship.
"Alex has shown that she is one of the elite midfielders in this country and she's an invaluable asset to our side both on and off the park," he said.
"Her experience domestically and internationally is vast and over her time at Victory, she has been a leader with her actions."
The Victory is in fourth place on the 2023-24 ladder.
