South Melbourne FC farewells captain Harrison Sawyer

·

South Melbourne FC has announced that captain Harrison Sawyer has signed a professional contract with Macarthur FC in the A-League, effective immediately.

Upon his return to South Melbourne, Sawyer not only led the team as captain but also paved the way for a remarkable season.

Under his guidance, the club won two major trophies, including the Dockerty Cup. He also played a crucial role in securing the Premiers Plate with a top-of-the-table finish.

Sawyer’s standout performances extended to the Australia Cup, where he scored against Wellington and delivered an exceptional display against Hume City despite knowing his departure was imminent.

The dedicated leader has ended his time with South Melbourne on a high as he departs with the 2024 NPL Victoria and SMFC Golden Boot awards, capping off an impressive stint with South Melbourne FC.

South Melbourne announced the decision on Facebook, writing: “He [Sawyer] will always be welcome at his home, Lakeside Stadium.”

“We are deeply grateful for his leadership and contributions to our proud football club not only during this season but those prior as well,” they added.
