A member of Newcastle’s triumphant 2025 Australia Cup winning side, the one-time Socceroo has started five games under head coach Mark Milligan this season.

However, injury coupled with Milligan’s preference for other defenders has meant Å uÅ¡njar’s prospect of more game time this season was likely to be limited and as such, he’s been granted an immediate release from his contract.

A winner of the Australia Cup during his time with Macarthur Bulls, the 30-year-old will now seek opportunities elsewhere.

Fresh from their impressive win over Sydney FC in Round 9, Newcastle resume their Isuzu UTE A-League campaign on Boxing Day when they take on Macarthur Bulls.
