‘Key’ Glory defender inks new two-year deal: ‘Really important player’

Perth Glory have handed key defender Charbel Shamoon a new two-year deal which extends his contract with the club until June 2028.

The former Western United man joined Glory ahead of the 2025-26 Isuzu UTE A-League campaign and after making his first start in Round 3, locked down the right-back position for the rest of the season, eventually racking up 25 appearances.

The 22-year-old also scored his first A-Leagues goal with a fine finish in the Round 6 win over Macarthur Bulls.

“Charbel has very quickly become one of our key defenders and was a standout performer in his first season with us,” said Perth Glory Football Director Stan Lazaridis.

“Once he got his opportunity, he took it and was very good for us both defensively and pushing forward to provide another option in attack.

“He’s very level-headed, with a great work ethic and I’m confident he’ll keep on improving and be a really important player for us in the seasons ahead.”

Shamoon becomes the eighth player Perth Glory have tied down during the off-season, whilst Head Coach Adam Griffiths has also signed a new deal.

Having already handed club captain Adam Taggart a new one-year contract extension, Perth have also locked down young talents Giovanni De Abreu and Sebastian Despotovski.

Furthermore Stefan Colacovski has re-signed for a further season whilst star import Tom Lawrence has also inked a new two-year contract to remain in Western Australia.

The club has wasted little time in reshaping their squad with nine players exiting thus far, including Lachie Wales, Cameron Cook and Joel Anasmo.

Glory have also brought in former academy player Matthew Dench on a two-year deal following the defender’s departure from Brisbane Roar.
