Treble-winning Di Pizio joins Western Sydney as game-changer

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 07:32 · Archive

Miguel Di Pizio, who won three trophies with Central Coast Mariners, has joined Western Sydney Wanderers as a game-changer.

Miguel Di Pizio has joined Western Sydney Wanderers after winning a treble with Central Coast Mariners in the 2023/24 A-League Men season. The 20-year-old midfielder is being promoted as a game-changer for the Wanderers, who finished last season as wooden spooners.

Di Pizio played a key role in Central Coast's historic 2023/24 campaign, becoming the youngest goalscorer in an A-League Men grand final at age 17. He had risen through the Wanderers' academy before joining the Mariners. Central Coast has since struggled, finishing ninth last season amid financial difficulties before being rescued by new owners Total Soccer Growth Holdings.

Di Pizio said his move reflected feeling he had exhausted his opportunities at Central Coast. 'Respectfully, I feel like I had achieved everything I could with Central Coast,' he told AAP. 'I got a taste of it, and I'm ready for more.' He acknowledged the responsibility of joining a club with 'rock bottom' players eager for change, saying coaches and teammates know 'you're a winner' when you arrive as a treble-winner.
