Adelaide: Bridget Patterson on Monday signed a new deal with Adelaide Strikers for the next three years, said the club in a statement.
"The Adelaide Strikers have scored a signing coup, with Bridget Patterson to remain in blue for the next three years," Adelaide Strikers said in a statement.

I've made a lot of memories here and I'm really looking forward to that continuing for the next three years," Adelaide Strikers' official website quoted Patterson as saying.
