JOHNNY KOUTROUMBIS ARRIVES IN MOTHERWELL

Defender Johnny Koutroumbis has completed his move to Fir Park, signing a two-year deal, subject to international clearance. 

The 26-year-old was most recently on the books with A-League side Perth Glory, where he made 41 appearances over a two-year spell.

Koutroumbis started out with West Adelaide before joining Adelaide United, in the NPL South Australia, in 2016.

His career went on an upward trajectory when he made a switch to the Newcastle Jets at the end of 2016 on a short-term deal, before sealing a longer term contract after impressing during that spell.

He would make 95 appearances during his five season with the Jets before moving Western Sydney Wanderers in 2021. He spent a season there before joining up with Perth Glory in 2022.

A former Australian Under 23 international, Koutroumbis makes his first venture outside of Australian football having made over 140 appearances in the Australian top-flight.

“There has been a lot of work to get Johnny here,” manager Stuart Kettlewell.

“So, first of all I want to thank everyone involved as these kinds of deals are never easy.

“Johnny is a good player who has a wealth of experience in a good league. I’ve spoken with him and he is very ambitious.

 

“We both feel this is an excellent opportunity for him to develop and push into that next chapter of his career. He’s came to the other side of the world which is a lot of commitment.

“He’s now got plenty time to adjust and settle before the competitive season begins.”
