Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata has joined A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers on a one-year contract.
The 36-year-old Spaniard has been a free agent since leaving Japanese team Vissel Kobe in January 2024.
Mata left England in 2022 to join Galatasaray, where he won the league in his only season in Turkey.
“I’m really excited to join the Western Sydney Wanderers, the only Australian team to ever win the Asian Champions League, and I cannot wait to arrive and train with the team to prepare for the season,” said Mata.
“I’m feeling grateful and excited for this new adventure, and looking forward to trying to win another championship in a different league.”
