After agreeing to a new one-year contract with Melbourne City, seasoned goalie Jamie Young will play for at least one more season.
After joining City in July of last year from Western United, the 38-year-old title-winning gloveman made 38 appearances for the team in all competitions during the 2023–24 season.
Young remarked, “I knew it was the right decision to make when the club came to me about re-signing. I’ve enjoyed playing for Melbourne City.”
“I’ve always told myself that my goal was to play for as long as I could and to compete at the best level, and at City, that goal is attainable.”
Young spent 12 years in the UK before beginning his domestic career in 2014 with Brisbane Roar. He has played in 260 games across all competitions for three A-League clubs.
Michael Petrillo, City’s football director, praised Young’s “experience” and “leadership”.
Jamie is a skilled shot-blocker who has excelled in the league for many years, according to Petrillo.
But what he brings off the field is just as valuable. He is a person who consistently upholds the greatest standards.
“His younger teammates look up to him; he is a great mentor.”
