New Zealand forward Emma Rolston is returning to Wellington after almost a decade away from home.

Rolston (25) has signed with the Wellington Phoenix for the women’s A-League season.

She left the capital to prepare for the 2014 Under-20 Women’s World Cup before pursuing a career abroad. She made her professional debut for Sydney FC in the old W-League before heading to Europe, where the 12-cap Football Fern played in Germany and most recently Norway.
