Siti Rosnani Binte Azman (born 22 May 1997) is a Singaporean professional footballer who plays as a defender for WE League club INAC Kobe Leonessa,[2] as well as the Singapore women's national football team.

Football career

Azman started playing competitive football at 11 years old. She played for the Woodlands Secondary School and Republic Polytechnic.[3][4]

Club career

Azman previously played for the South West Queensland Thunder in the National Premier Leagues Women's in Australia. She made 31 appearances for the club.[5]

In 2021, Azman became the first Singaporean to play professionally in Japan, when she joined INAC Kobe Leonessa of the Japan Women's Empowerment Professional Football League.[5] Azman struggled in INAC Kobe due to the different level of play and language barrier.[6] In an attempt to bridge to the gap, she put in extra training and ultimately injured herself, tearing her left gluteus maximus muscle, sidelining her for two months.[6][7]

Azman requested for a loan move at the end of 2021 and after a successful trial with Kibi International of Nadeshiko League Division 2, joined Kibi International on loan from February to June 2022, until the end of her contract with INAC Kobe.[6] In June, Azman made her first appearance in the Japan League in a 60th minute substitution.[8]

Kibi International signed Azman on 1 July 2022 for six months.[8]

International career

Azman was selected in the provisional 29 players national team squad for 2023 Southeast Asian Games.[8]
