Western Sydney Wanderers FC are proud to announce the signing of Angus Thurgate on a three-year deal, securing his services until the end of the 2027/28 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Thurgate, 25, arrives in Western Sydney with a wealth of top-flight experience, having made over 170 A-League appearances to date. Known for his tireless work rate, composure on the ball, and leadership qualities, he adds depth and creativity to the Wanderers’ midfield as the club builds towards the upcoming season.
A product of the Newcastle Jets Academy, Thurgate made his A-Leagues debut as a teenage and quickly established himself as one of the competition’s most reliable young talents.
After six seasons at the Jets, he joined Western United where he became a key figure in their midfield and was recognised with the Player of the Season Award at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Head coach Alen Stajcic said he was delighted to welcome Angus to the club.
“We’re delighted to bring Angus to club. He has been a standout player in the A-League in recent years and brings quality play, a wealth of experience and tremendous character to our squad.”
Thurgate said he was ready to contribute to the club over the next three seasons.
“The opportunity to join a top group of players and staff drew me in to the club straight away,” said Thurgate.
“Speaking with Staj (head coach Alen Stajcic) and understanding the process and the direction of the club made it an easy decision.
“I’m looking forward to helping the team build on the back of last season and challenging at the top come the end of the season.
“I’m excited to experience CommBank Stadium as a Wanderer, it’s always been a tough place to come as a travelling team especially when the fans and the community are behind the boys, like they were last season, so I’m looking forward to getting out there and representing the West of Sydney.”
Thurgate will link up with his new teammates immediately, as the Wanderers prepare for the Isuzu UTE A-League kick-off on 18 October 2025.
