A-League Men great comes full circle at Mariners
Former Socceroos goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne has sealed his return to boyhood club Central Coast. Sydney FC great Redmayne, best known for his play-off penalty shootout heroics against Peru that sent Australia to the 2022 World Cup, parted ways with the Sky Blues at the end of last season. The 36-year-old started his professional career at the Mariners in 2008 and will hope to help them return to finals after they missed the top six last season. He was a back-up goalkeeper at the Roar behind Michael Theo, making two appearances, as Ange Postecoglou's side claimed two championships and a premiership between 2010 and 2012. Redmayne then spent three seasons at Melbourne Heart/City, before joining Western Sydney in 2015. He joined Sydney in January 2017, which allowed Vedran Janjetovic to head to the Wanderers. Under Graham Arnold, then Steve Corica, Redmayne became one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Redmayne made 238 appearances across all competitions for the Sky Blues and won three premierships, three championships and two Australia Cups. He made his international debut in 2019 and earned four caps. Most famously, Arnold called on him off the bench for the penalty shootout in the 2022 World Cup qualifying play-off against Peru. His "Grey Wiggle" distraction tactics put off the Peruvian players and he saved the decisive penalty from Alex Valera to send Australia to Qatar.

The 36-year-old started his professional career at the Mariners in 2008 and will hope to help them return to finals after they missed the top six last season. "I'm ecstatic, it's almost a fairytale moment, coming full circle," Redmayne said in a statement. "I'm really looking forward to getting on the pitch and re-immersing myself in Central Coast life." "I've got a lot of connections here with the likes of Vuka (goalkeeping coach Danny Vukovic) and Simmo (football director Matt Simon), the roots of the Central Coast family run deep. "My family is still here where I was born, just around the corner, so it's quite a strong connection and once the phone call came it was a no-brainer."

Andrew Redmayne's deal to return to Central Coast Mariners now uncertain
Former Socceroos goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne's hopes of rejoining Central Coast Mariners are in jeopardy after an apparent about-face from club owner and chairman Mike Charlesworth. It was announced in April that veteran gloveman Redmayne was parting ways with Sydney FC at the end of the 2024-25 A-League season after eight years with the Sky Blues, having lost his first-team place to Harrison Devenish-Meares. It's understood that soon after the announcement, 36-year-old Redmayne signed a contract with the Mariners, the club where he started his A-League career as a teenager in 2008. Sources close to the cash-strapped Mariners say that Charlesworth approved the deal. However, it now believed that as part of the club's current freeze on signing players, Charlesworth has back-tracked on bringing Redmayne back to Gosford, potentially leaving the experienced gloveman in limbo. A potential lifeline looms for Redmayne if English Championship club Queens Park Rangers commit to buying the Mariners. A decision is expected soon from QPR, although it's understood there is also a consortium of Australian businessmen interested in purchasing a stake in the Mariners on the proviso that Charlesworth retains 40 per cent of the club ownership. Meanwhile, star defender Brian Kaltak, whose departure from the Mariners was confirmed on Thursday, has joined Perth Glory on a multi-year deal. The 31-year-old Vanuatu international, who won two A-League championships and an AFC Cup during his three seasons with Central Coast, said it was 'time to try something new'. 'This a new chapter for me and I'm excited for it,' Kaltak said. 'This move will be good for me and good for my football.' In other A-League news, Macarthur FC has announced the departure of four players – left-back Ivan Vujica, right-back Yianni Nicolaou, and midfielders Danny De Silva and Peter Makrillos.
