South Africa internationals Refiloe Jane and Rhoda Mulaudzi will kick start their club careers away from home after joining Canberra United in Australia.

 The Australian side on Monday announced on their website the acquisition of Jane (26) and Mulaudzi (28), who had been on trial in Canberra.

Head coach Heather Garriock said the two Banyana Banyana players have impressed her in their short time with the team, during the club's winter programme.

"In their short time here in Canberra, Fifi and Rhoda have been impressive,"said Garriock.

"It was hard for them to get here, and then to come in to a different environment and play, but they have done very well to adapt and really stood out for me.

"Fifi's technical ability in the midfield is simply outstanding, and in Rhoda I can see the pace and aggression that I'm looking for up front."

Jane led her country to success at 2017 COSAFA Women's Championship and played at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, revealed her excitement at her move abroad.

"I am very excited and grateful for the opportunity at Canberra United. I am looking forward to the season and making the most of this chance."

While Mulaudzi said the opportunity to play in the Australian topflight league is a dream come true for her.

"This is a very exciting opportunity for us. It all feels like a dream [getting a contract], but I can see it is reality."

The pair will feature in the 11th season of the nine-team Westfield W-League, with the 2018-19 campaign set to serve off late in October.

Canberra United who are two-time winners of the Australian topflight division which came into existence in 2008, finished fifth in the outing term.
