Glory swoop to sign rising midfield star on two-year deal

Perth Glory is delighted to confirm that highly-rated midfielder Rhys Bozinovski has signed a two-year deal with the club.

The Australia U20 and U23 international enjoyed a breakout season for Western United last year, starting 25 games in which he scored an impressive five goals and claimed two assists.

Now 21, he made his A-League debut as an 18-year-old in May 2022 and has since established himself as one of the country’s brightest rising stars.

He is now looking forward to starting the next stage in his football journey with Glory.

“As soon as I spoke to [Glory Football Director] Stan Lazaridis, it was a no-brainer to come to Perth Glory,” he said.

“I see the club’s vision and ambition and what they’re headed towards and I want to be a part of the success.

“Personally, I want to continue to develop myself on the pitch.

“I will give the club everything and I want to continue to contribute as much as possible to this team’s success.

“I’m very excited to start this new chapter in my career and am ready to work hard and give it all for the club and the fans.”

Glory Football Director Stan Lazaridis believes that Bozinovski’s signing represents a genuine coup for the club.

“There is no doubt in my mind that Rhys is a future Socceroo and we are absolutely thrilled to have secured his services,” he said.

“He was one of the very best midfielders in the A-League last season and aged just 21, he has an incredibly high ceiling in terms of just how good he can be.

“He’s a dynamic, box-to-box central midfielder and his goals and assists record shows that he’s a real threat in the final third.

“Rhys is a really exciting young player and I’m delighted that we managed to beat off stiff competition from a host of other clubs in order to get him on board for the next two years.”

Bozinovski will wear shirt number 18 this season.
