The 31-year-old Vanuatu international leaves as a Mariners legend after winning two Championships, including an historic treble in 2023-24.

Across more than 100 appearances, Kaltak also won an AFC Cup and an Isuzu UTE A-League Premiership.

“The Central Coast Mariners would like to thank Brian for his outstanding contributions to the club,” a statement read.

To go with team success, Kaltak also received individual recognition as he was named in the PFA A-League Team of the Season in back-to-back seasons in 2022-23 and 2023-24, while he was the recipient of consecutive Coaches Player of the Year Awards at the 2023 and 2024 Mariners Medal Dinners.
