All players signed for A-League 2020/21 Season

A line has been drawn under a marathon A-League 2019/20 season and, for the first time ever, 12 teams are preparing to write a new chapter of history.

Three-hundred and twenty-four days separated the 2019/20 Season opener from Sydney FC being crowned A-League 2020 Champions, following a 1-0 extra-time win against Melbourne City in unique circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic that turned the competition, and the world, upside down.

For the 11 clubs that competed, it’s back to the drawing board to prepare for the 16th A-League season. For one brand new team, Macarthur FC, it’s the opportunity to announce themselves to the football world.

Months before the Sky Blues lifted that coveted title at Bankwest Stadium, every club began assembling their rosters for the 2020/21 season and, if you have missed any moves, now is the time to catch up.

Players not mentioned in this list may be in renewal negotiations.
