Fletcher, who signed with the Wanderers two months ago, rooms with compatriots and young American players Katie Stengel, Paige Nielsen and Alex Arlitt.

The 31-year-old holds one cap for the United States but has vast experience playing in North America as well as a brief stint in Sweden as well as W-League clubs Central Coast Mariners and Canberra United.

The Wanderer’s spread of talent include Matildas Caitlin Cooper, Ellie Carpenter, Casey Dumont and former Matilda Joey Burgess who came out of retirement this year.

Fletcher comes from National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side Seattle Reign and narrowly missed finals in the 2016 campaign. However the American knows what success tastes like after winning a Premiership and Championship with Canberra during her stints.

“I think anything’s achievable, if you’re going to put a team together and step on the field in this league that’s certainly something you want to try to achieve,” Fletcher said.

“For us as a club, as we’re building it’s just putting good performances in together and building each week, the girls put in a lot of work this preseason, we’ve come in bit later, we’ve been here for two weeks.

“I think we’re excited to see what we can do in our first match, that’s obviously the most important and we’ll push on from there.”

She said the growth of Australia’s domestic competition was a motivation to return.

“I’m really excited, I think the W-League has grown each and every year I’ve been here and I think this will be no exception,” she said.

“I’m really look forward to it. Excited to be playing for Western Sydney obviously and excited to see what we can do.”

Arlitt and Nielsen come to the W-League after enjoying strong college careers before joining the NWSL, while Stengel brings European experience to the competition after 20 appearances and nine goals for Bayern Munich from 2014-2015.

The striker conceded she was in unfamiliar territory but was looking to hit the ground running against Perth Glory in the A-League double header on Sunday evening at nib Stadium.

The 24-year-old had a successful season in the NWSL with Washington Spirit where she almost claimed the championship against Western New York Flash in extra-time.

“I don’t know much about the actual league itself, I’m really excited, I’ve seen some really good nationals come over here,” Stengel said.

“Our training has been really intense, the girls work really hard and they make up for their inexperience with hard work and great team chemistry.

“It’s just a different group of players, it’s all the same game. One team has different internationals and they all have a different style here, many Australians and they have a specific style to play and it’s fun to be a part of.”
