Brisbane Roar are excited to welcome talented Young Socceroos forward, Nathan Amanatidis on a two-and-a-half-year deal
The 19-year-old, who can operate as a winger or up-front, arrives at Roar from Sydney FC where he made 14 Isuzu UTE A-League appearances, scoring 1 goal in this season’s AFC Champions League.
Amanatidis, who came through Adelaide United’s youth system before making the switch to the Sky Blues, burst onto the scene with his performances for the Joeys at the 2023 AFC U17 Asian Cup where Australia reached the Quarter Final stage.
The electric attacker, who excels in one-on-one situations scored twice and assisted another, putting himself on the radar in Australian football circles.
Amanatidis was called up to the Young Socceroos for the 2024 Panda Cup in November, a tournament which Australia won after going through undefeated.
“I’m thrilled to be signing with a fantastic club like Brisbane, known for its rich history in the A-League,” Amanatidis said.
“I’m eager to create something special with the club and it’s fans and I can’t wait to work alongside this talented team and coach.
“One of my main goals is to secure a spot in the starting eleven, contributing with as many goals and assists as possible, while also helping the team achieve as many victories as we can, as we aim to compete for silverware.
“Beyond my time with the Roar, I have a long-term aspiration to represent the Socceroos. It means a lot to me that the club and Ruben recognize my potential and have faith in me.
“I’m looking forward to jumping right in and making a strong impact in the second half of the season.”
Amanatidis will wear the number 17 jersey and is available for selection for next Friday’s Isuzu UTE A-League Round 17 clash against Western Sydney Wanderers at Suncorp Stadium.
