New Signing: Michael Pratezina
Macarthur FC has also signed promising midfielder Michael Pratezina on a scholarship contract lasting until the end of the 2027/28 A-League season. Born in 2008, Pratezina transfers from Sydney United 58 FC after an impressive performance in the 2025 NPL Men’s season.

Expressing his excitement, Pratezina stated, “It’s unreal. I’m really grateful for the opportunity that I’ve got here and can’t wait to get started with the boys.”
As the Bulls gear up for this crucial match, the combination of strategic signings and potential community initiatives aims to elevate the club’s presence and performance in the league.
