Versatile defender, Antonee Burke-Gilroy who can also operate as fullback on either side of the pitch and across midfield will play his fourth A-League season in Brisbane in 2025/26.
The 27-year-old, known for engine, delivery and ability to get up and down the pitch started his Australian career at Newcastle Jets, where he starred for their NPL side across two seasons.

Burke-Gilroy returned to Australia, with short stints at Altona Magic and Brisbane Roar before settling in at Perth Glory, making 34 appearances across two seasons.
