Miguel Di Pizio

An exciting young attacking midfielder and proven winner, Miguel Di Pizio brings creativity, technical ability and championship-winning experience to the Western Sydney Wanderers, returning to the club where his football journey began.

Born in Sydney, Di Pizio developed through the Wanderers Academy before joining the Central Coast Mariners in 2023, where he quickly established himself as one of Australian football’s most promising young talents.

His breakthrough came during the 2023/24 season, playing an important role in the Mariners’ historic treble-winning campaign as the club secured the A-League Men Championship, Premiership and AFC Cup.

Di Pizio etched his name into Australian football history during the 2024 A-League Grand Final, scoring a crucial extra-time goal against Melbourne Victory to become the youngest goalscorer in the competition’s Grand Final history at just 18 years and 141 days old.

His impressive performances also earned him international recognition, representing Australia at Under-17 and Under-20 level, including featuring for the Joeys at the 2023 AFC U-17 Asian Cup.

In June 2026, Di Pizio returned to his hometown club, signing a two-year deal with the Wanderers ahead of the 2026/27 A-League Men season. His arrival marked an exciting homecoming for the Academy graduate, bringing valuable experience and a winning mentality back to Western Sydney.

His continued development was recognised in September 2026 when he earned selection in the CommBank Olyroos squad for international friendlies against Korea Republic, as Australia began preparations for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

Known for his intelligent movement, creativity in the final third and ability to deliver in important moments, Di Pizio brings an exciting attacking dimension to the Red & Black as he looks to write the next chapter of his career at the club where it all began.
