Brisbane Roar have secured the services of 19-year-old forward Nathan Amanatidis on a two-and-a-half-year contract. The talented Young Socceroos striker joins from Sydney FC, where he made 14 A-League appearances, scoring once in this season’s AFC Champions League.
Amanatidis, who can play as a winger or forward, began his career in Adelaide United’s youth system before moving to Sydney FC. He gained significant attention for his performances with the Joeys at the 2023 AFC U-17 Asian Cup, where Australia reached the quarter-finals.
The young attacker also featured in the 2024 Panda Cup, helping the Young Socceroos go undefeated to win the tournament.
