Western Sydney Wanderers FC have today confirmed that midfielder Josh Brillante’s contract has been automatically extended by one year, keeping him in the Red & Black until the end of the 2025/26 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Brillante joined the Wanderers in July 2023, bringing a wealth of experience and leadership to the Red & Black.
Since arriving in Western Sydney, Brillante has brought composure to the heart of the midfield, playing a key role across the last two seasons.
Over that time, he has made 42 appearances for the club, providing consistency and defensive stability, and has also reached the significant milestone of 250 A-Leagues appearances, while continuing to mentor and support the club’s emerging young talent with his professionalism and experience.
Head coach Alen Stajcic said Brillante was pivotal to the foundations of the club.
“Josh has been a critical pillar in re-building a positive team culture and belief within the club, laying a platform and foundation for the team’s continued growth this season,” said Stajcic.
“His contribution is just as important on the field, as it is off it, and we look forward to him further strengthening the club’s position this season.”
Brillante spoke about the club’s strong foundations, drive for silverware and the incredible support from the Wanderers faithful.
“I’m very happy to be staying at the Wanderers for another season. Off the back of last season, I feel we’re heading into the next with strong foundations and exciting football,” said Brillante.
“We’re striving to attain silverware for the club and exceed last years’ success. Last season the members and fans were brilliant so thank you and hopefully they’ll be back bigger and louder this season.”
