The midfielder makes the move after spending the last three seasons in Melbourne with Western United, signing a one-year deal with the Reds alongside her twin sister, Melissa.

Taranto recently made her senior debut for Australia against Panama, having made two senior appearances for the CommBank Matildas. 

“I’m so excited to sign with Adelaide United for this season. This is a club that has given me another opportunity to grow as both a player and a person in the A-Leagues. I’ve always admired Adelaide United and the high standards they set."

"I can’t wait to step onto the field with this amazing group of girls and make more history for the club. I’m also really eager to meet the fans and hopefully help bring silverware to Adelaide this season.”

Taranto made 55 appearances for Western United during her stint in green, scoring six goals across all 3 seasons.

Adriana and Melissa Taranto are the most recent signings for the Reds, joining the likes of Australian youth internationals Emilia Makris, Lara Gooch and Holly Murray.
