Western Sydney Wanderers FC have tonight confirmed the re-signing of defender Anthony Pantazopoulos for the next two Isuzu UTE A-League seasons.
Pantazopoulos, 21, arrived at the Wanderers in 2023 and has since developed into a key figure in the Wanderers backline.
The young defender has made 17 A-League appearances, with 15 of those coming this season, marking a breakout campaign where he showcased his composure, versatility, and defensive strength.
Pantazopoulos has further cemented his influence within the squad by scoring his first A-Leagues goal this season.
Head coach Alen Stajcic said he was delighted to see Pantazopoulos re-sign with the Wanderers until the end of the 2026/27 season.
“Re-signing Anthony is another sign of showing faith in our next generation of players who continue to underpin the improvement in our A-League Men’s team,” said Stajcic.
“I’ll be delighted to see Panta grow as this team evolves in future years.”
Anthony Pantazopoulos said that he was eager to continue learning and representing the Western Sydney community.
“My goal for the next two years is to keep learning from my teammates as it’s only going to benefit me and the team in the long term, this is the main goal,” said Pantazopoulos.
“The Wanderers have grown into my home. Living now in Western Sydney, I feel a certain connection with the members and fans and this helps me every single game. I’m not just playing for myself, but I’m playing for the whole community which I really thrive on.
“Playing for this club is special, whether you’re winning games and you go over to the RBB or you see the smiles on the little kids faces. It means the world to me as we give them enjoyment for the rest of the week. They can go to school or work the next day and they are happy. So having that kind of pressure lifts me, so I can give them that enjoyment.
“I love playing for this club.”
