Newcastle Jets defender Lucas Mullagez joined the Wellington Phoenix on loan ahead of the 2022-23 A-League men's season. The 20-year-old Australian left-back, who is the Phoenix's 18th player, is ready to start preseason training next week.
Announced this week, the new ABA men's season will begin on 7 October for six weeks, followed by a three-week break during the World Cup before resuming and ending next May. Coach Uf Talay said he looked forward to working with Mullagez and he believed he could push established left-back Sam Sutton. "I loved watching Lucas at Newcastle last year and even though he had limited play time there, he looked very effective with the ball forward," Talee said in a statement.
"The way we play full-back is to create chances and score goals is an important part of scoring goals, and he looks like he has the talent to move forward. We're delighted he's decided to go on loan with us, he'll play where Sam is and it would be nice to be able to compete for a left-back position. ”
Since his debut at the end of the 2019-20 season, Lucas Mullagez has made 23 appearances for the Jets and scored two goals. Lucas Mullagez said in a statement: "I feel Wellington is the perfect opportunity for me to grow into a player, growing up I've been a left winger and I've evolved into more left-winger roles. Offense is something I like to do. As a defender, I make sure to attack as much as I can and also defend. I'm looking forward to challenging and playing my best football in Wellington and I can't wait to join the team and get to work. ”
