Highlight: Scored on A-League debut for the Wanderers on 8/10/2017 against Perth Glory. Highlight: Note: Some statistics websites list Riera as scoring one less A-League goal. A goal he scored against the Mariners in Round 19, of Season 2018/19 is often mistakenly credited as an own goal for Ben Kennedy. Description: A journeyman striker, Oriol began his career in the youth system of Espanyol, before joining Barcelona, playing for 2 years in their various reserve squads. Apart from a short stint with Wigan Athletic of England, he has spent the majority of his career in the Spanish first division before joining the Wanderers on a two year deal. He was the key attacking weapon in the 2017/18 season, coming to the rescue of his side on multiple occasions. His goal haul broke the Wanderers record for scoring in a single season. He won the Wanderers Golden Boot for the second time, in 2018/19 before leaving the club. View full record

Lmao, it's just gonna be another embarrassing ordeal if he can't take his chances after the massive hype train. Hopefully doesn't transcend into a meme like Pio and Bulut.
