His senior debut arrived during the 2010/11 campaign and he would go on to make the right-back spot his own for the next six seasons, playing 142 games to move into fourth place in Glory’s all-time A-League appearances list.
Senior international recognition arrived in 2015 with a debut against Bangladesh at HBF Park and he would go on to feature in each of the Socceroos’ three group games at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The defender spent two seasons with Western Sydney Wanderers after leaving Glory in 2017 before moving on to Western United where he subsequently became club captain.
