McGarry makes move to Brisbane Roar

BBC News19-06-2025
James McGarry will leave Aberdeen for "a fresh start" with A-League side Brisbane Roar after a "difficult" two years at Pittodrie.The left-back made just 28 appearances since joining in 2023, due in large part to Jack MacKenzie's form, and spent the second half of last season on loan to Athens Kallithea.The 27-year-old New Zealand cap scored one Dons goal - against Dumbarton in last season's League Cup group stage - and leaves with the "best wishes" of manager Jimmy Thelin."A culmination of frustrating injuries and the form of Jack made life a little difficult for James, but I have never had any complaints about his attitude or professionalism," Thelin said."Sometimes things just don't quite go the way everyone plans when a player makes a move, and I think that is the case here."He has a lot of experience in the A-League, and with a fresh start, I am sure he'll do well there."
