Adelaide United's first Golden Boot winner Fiona Worts sets sights on A-League Women's championship

When Fiona Worts joined the Reds, the British-born striker was aiming to do more than simply make an impression. 

By her own admission, Worts wanted to set a new league benchmark — and that combination of ambition and perseverance has paid off handsomely.
