I can’t wait to work with Arthur Papas and his coaching staff. After speaking to him and hearing about his ambitions for the club I couldn’t wait to join. His attacking style of play suits me and I’m determined to help this club succeed.”

“We are excited to welcome Jaushua Sotirio to the Newcastle Jets for the next two seasons.
