Western Sydney Wanderers have confirmed experienced defender Jack Clisby has returned to the club for his second stint in red and black, putting pen to paper on a two-season deal.
The 31-year-old left-back rejoins the club after a five-season absence, split across stints at Central Coast Mariners and Perth Glory.
Clisby’s 209-game Isuzu UTE A-League career began in Perth in 2012. He then joined Melbourne City, before signing for the Wanderers in 2016. His first stint at Western Sydney spanned two seasons between 2016-18. Upon his return to the club, Clisby said he was excited to return to the club where he’s experienced some of his fondest memories as a player.
“The Wanderers are a big club and some of my fondest memories are here. I really loved the time that I spent in Western Sydney,” Clisby said.
“So when they contacted me with interest, I was really excited at the prospect of returning. The passion that the members and fans of Western Sydney have is amazing and I couldn’t be more eager to get going.
“I want success and silverware for the Wanderers. I believe the club is building a squad that can win the Championship.
“I’m excited to work under head coach Marko Rudan and the coaching staff as they are very driven towards the goals of succeeding as a football club.
“The club has come a long way since I was last there in regards to the new facilities and stadium.
“The stadium is fantastic and the training facilities are world-class. It’s an environment that I feel will prepare us to be in the best shape in every department for the season ahead.”
Clisby is Wanderers head coach Marko Rudan’s third signing of the off-season, after Olyroo Lachlan Brook and Dylan Pierias.
