Football pioneer Cavallo leaves ALM for new opportunity
Adelaide United midfielder Josh Cavallo will depart A-League Men after sealing an overseas move. Cavallo, who in 2021 became the world's first openly gay professional male footballer, leaves the Reds after struggling for game time.

Cavallo played just four games in the 2023/24 campaign, having suffered a hamstring strain after recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture. He played 49 games across all competitions after arriving at Adelaide in 2021 from Western United. "Adelaide United gave me the platform to grow as a footballer, but more importantly, it gave me a place to grow as a person," Cavallo said in a club statement. "I'll always be grateful to this club for embracing me and allowing me to live authentically. The support from my teammates, coaches, staff, and the incredible Reds fans has meant the world to me.
