Priestman departs for Scottish Premiership opportunity

Western Sydney Wanderers FC have tonight confirmed the departure of midfielder Oscar Priestman for Scottish Premiership side Motherwell FC for an undisclosed fee. 

Joining the Wanderers at the beginning of the 2023 season, Priestman transitioned from the club’s cross-town rivals and swiftly established himself as an influential figure in the Wanderers’ midfield. 

Since then, the 22-year-old has clocked more than 50 matches in the domestic league wearing the Red & Black and has been consistently called up to Australia’s U23s national team.

Western Sydney Wanderers CEO Scott Hudson thanked Oscar for his efforts over the last two seasons.

“On behalf of the club, I’d like to thank Oscar for his commitment and contribution during his time with us,” said Hudson. 

“We wish him every success in the next stage of his career.”

Wanderers Isuzu UTE A-League head coach Alen Stajcic wished Oscar all the best overseas.

“Oscar showed amazing progression last season and was a key figure in the team progressing to the Finals Series,” said Stajcic.

“We wish him all the best in his football journey overseas.”
