Brisbane Roar are pleased to welcome rising star forward Justin Vidić on a two-year deal as Michael Valkanis continues to build his squad for the 25/26 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Having come through the Marconi Stallions youth set up, Vidić had a standout 22/23 NSW NPL season which involved 23 appearances for the club.
The 21-year-old then signed with the Newcastle Jets on a scholarship deal ahead of the 23/24 season, where he went on to play 12 matches and scored his first A-League goal in Round 9 against Adelaide United.
Vidić scored a brace against Rockdale Ilinden during the 2024 Australia Cup and was called up to the U23 Australian National team for the PacificAus Football series last September, where he found the back of the net against Vanuatu.
Speaking on signing with the club, Vidić said: “I’m excited to continue my professional career here at Brisbane Roar, one of the biggest clubs in the A-League.
“I’m driven to work hard and give my all for my teammates and the fans both in pre-season and throughout the campaign.”
Head Coach Michael Valkanis said: “Justin is a traditional tall, strong, back-to-goal forward who joins the club with an immense amount of potential.
“My coaching staff and I believe in that potential and look forward to watching Justin bring all his attributes to the team for the season ahead.”
