Australian captain Lisa De Vanna will return to the W-League to boost ladder-leading Canberra United's star-studded attack. The 117-cap striker will join the side on a seven-game deal during the US National Women's Soccer League's offseason, where she plays with Orlando Pride. De Vanna, 32, will join Matildas teammates Michelle Heyman and Ashleigh Sykes in Canberra's forward line, with six regular-season rounds remaining before the finals in February. After playing in every previous W-League campaign, De Vanna took a break that extended to this season following two taxing years which included World Cup and Olympics campaigns. Fairfax Media reported she would be linking up with Canberra on Wednesday, but a club spokesman told AAP a debut in their next match on Dec. 28 against Melbourne Victory was uncertain. United surged to the top of the table following a 5-1 victory over fifth-placed Brisbane Roar on Sunday.
