Nicholas Pennington
7 Midfielder
Biography
Pennington’s football journey began with Serie A side Cagliari where he progressed through the youth ranks into the Under-19s squad before being loaned out to gain first-team experience with another Sardinian club, Olbia Calcio 1905.
He duly became a regular starter for Olbia in the unforgiving environment of Serie C, making 90 appearances ahead of completing a move to Wellington Phoenix in 2021.
His A-League debut for the ‘Nix came later that year in a 2-1 victory over the Mariners and he would go on to make 13 starts during the 2021/22 campaign, while also debuting for Australia Under-23s.
The dynamic midfielder’s first A-League goal came, ironically, against Glory in March 2022 and he doubled his tally with another effort during a Round 16 win over Western United last season.
Pennington signed a two-year deal with Glory in June 2024.
