Sydney FC have re-signed goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares on an improved deal at the club, tying him down until the end of the 2026-27 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Already midway through the first year of a two-year contract, Sky Blues boss Ufuk Talay has moved quickly to secure the future of the 28-year-old, handing him an additional year on his deal.
Joining Sydney after spending seven years playing overseas in both the United States and Romania, Devenish-Meares has featured six times for the club this season in both the Isuzu UTE A-League and the AFC Champions League Two.

Despite receiving a red card on his Isuzu UTE A-League debut against the Central Coast Mariners in Round 7, the keeper was thrown back into the starting XI for the subsequent clashes with Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory.
