Western Sydney Wanderers midfielder Oscar Priestman has signed a three-year contract extension with the Isuzu UTE A-League team.
Priestman is contracted to the Wanderers until the end of the 2026-27 season, Western Sydney confirmed following the arrival of former Spain, Chelsea and Manchester United star Juan Mata last week.
The 21-year-old, who arrived from cross-town rivals Sydney FC at the start of last season, has quickly established himself in the Wanderers midfield having amassed 25 appearances in his debut A-Leagues campaign, scoring once.

“I’m just excited and grateful to re-sign with the club, I’ve been really enjoying the pre-season and all the training we have been putting in, we’ve got a really good group of boys and coaching staff,” said Priestman.
“Hopefully this season I can contribute to us having a really successful season.”
