NATHAN TAYLOR
He’s been on the sidelines for
most of the season through
injury, but Western Sydney
are standing by their man – re-signing
Socceroos forward Brandon Borrello
on a three-year deal.
Borrello returned to the domestic
competition in 2022 with the
Wanderers after an extensive career in
Germany at the likes of Kaiserslautern,
Freiberg, Fortuna Dusseldorf and
Dynamo Dresden where he played for
over five years.
The forward instantly made an
impact at the Wanderers and won the
club’s Rod Allen Media Player of the
Year Award, Members Player of the
Year Award, Golden Boot and prestigious
Wanderers Medal in his first
season at the club.
Borrello also returned to the
Socceroos squad thanks to his sensational
form at the Wanderers and his
passion for the club and region saw
him win over the hearts of the Wanderers
faithful.
Wanderers coach Marko Rudan said
he was proud to retain the 28-year-old
for the next three seasons.
“We are very proud as a football club
that Brandon has re-signed on a longterm
deal that will see him at the club
Brandon Borrello will remain a Wanderer until the end of the 2026/27 season.
for many seasons to come,” he said.
“Brandon has not only been an influential
player of this club on the field,
but off the field where he has embodied
what it truly means to represent this
club and region.
“While this season hasn’t gone the
way that he has certainly planned,
we have put our full support behind
Brandon and are excited to see him
return back to the field in the months
to come.”
Borrello thanked the club for their
belief in him and the extension.
“I’ve fallen back in love with football at
the Wanderers and I cannot thank the
club enough for the way that they have
not only welcomed me, but embraced
me as one of their family,” he said.
“I’d like to also thank head coach
Marko Rudan, for not only bringing
me back to the A-Leagues, but for his
mentorship and guidance that has not
only helped me develop as a player and
also as a person.
“The belief that the club has had in me
has driven me to give everything I’ve
got for this football club, the region and
the western Sydney community and I
can’t wait to get back onto the field to
show everyone what I’ve got.”
Borrello suffered a foot fracture
during the Sydney Derby in Round 5.
It’s anticipated that he will return later
this season.
