NEWCASTLE HAVE REACHED an agreement to sign 18-year-old striker Garang Kuol from Australian A-League side Central Coast Mariners in January.
Kuol made his international debut for Australia against New Zealand last week, becoming the youngest Socceroo since Harry Kewell in 1996.
Born in Egypt, Kuol moved to Australia with his family as a refugee and joined the Mariners’ youth system in January 2021.
He only made his A-League debut for the Mariners in April but made an immediate impression, scoring four goals in his first seven appearances as a substitute.
✍️ #NUFC have finalised an agreement which will see Garang Kuol join from @CCMariners in January 2023.

Welcome to Newcastle United, Garang! 🇦🇺
Kuol told Newcastle’s website: “It’s unreal. As a young boy in Australia, the Premier League is the main thing that everyone watches but nobody actually thinks they’ll reach those heights.
“To be one of those people, to be in the position I am, it’s amazing.
“Now that I’ve signed for Newcastle, I want to train hard, play hard, hopefully go to the World Cup and come back here.”
So sad to see… one of the worlds most iconic designs.. Commercialism really has taking the soul of out the game..
Barcacroatia?
@Scott Mcsauce bby: Croatialona !
@Limón Madrugada: my thoughts exactly
Iconic design ? Stripes ? They’ve been changing their jersey for ages , some years they were beyond recognition . I actually think this is a nice twist to a jersey thats almost instantly recognisable . But it’s hardly daring . Daring would have FCB wear a nearly all white jersey ..

Have a look at this and you’ll see it’s not such a radical change .
@Limón Madrugada: Sorry man. You’re right. I was completely out of order thinking it was iconic. I’ll need to do more research before I comment here in the future. Egg on my face.
@John Carroll: nah man you’re entitled to your opinion just as I am ,
@Limón Madrugada: nice link there Limón…very interesting…
@Desmond Cassidy: Limón is always dropping knowledge.
@Limón Madrugada:
So it’s always been stripes.
Liverpool and Man City wearing stripes next year.
Celtic going for the Croatia look?
Kilkenny going for hoops
@Seamus McSpud: i guess you’ll stick to the spuds
Bit late with this. It’s been on show for weeks. Must be a slow day
Laughing stock AGAIN!
@Bryn Capstan: like Ramos getting booked on purpose & telling the world about. Then gets a suspension for it
