Highlight: Scored a brace for the Wanderers in their first competitive match at the new Western Sydney Stadium, against the Central Coast Mariners.
Highlight: Was the 4th top goal scorer for the 2019/20 A-League season, with 14 goals.
Description: A pacey winger & forward who had success in the A-League with the Central Coast Mariners before moving to Japan to play with Shimizu S-Pulse for 4 seasons. He has earned 4 caps for Australia, scoring 2 goals in the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup. He began brightly at the Wanderers adding spark to an otherwise lacklustre attack reliant on Oriol Riera and was named Captain for the 2019/20 season. He left at the end of the season to pursue a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, played 13 games there before coming back to the Wanderers for the remainder of the 2020/21 season on loan. He performed well enough to earn a call up to the Australian National team for their June 2021 World Cup Qualifiers and then played in the Tokyo Olympics as an over-age player.
