Solsky earns A-League contract with Perth Glory

In form Wollongong Wolves goalkeeper Daniel Solsky – who came through the junior ranks at Maccabi-Hakoah and then Hakoah FC’s state youth league and pathways programs – has earned his first full-time professional A-League contract, signing with Perth Glory last Friday on a one-year deal.

The 23-year-old former Moriah College student has been outstanding for the Wolves in the NPL NSW and the Australian Championship in the past two seasons, making 44 appearances, keeping 12 clean sheets and being named in the NPL NSW men’s Team of the Round list on several occasions this year.

Between his time at Hakoah FC and the Wolves, the 1.91m tall shot-stopper gained overseas experience with Spanish club Marbella FC.

Solsky said he is grateful to Perth Glory’s coaching staff and football director for the opportunity, and is determined to repay their faith.

“It [an A-League contract] is something I’ve been working towards for a long time, and I’m ready to come in, work hard, and do everything I can to repay that faith,” he said.
