Newcastle Jets defender Daniel Wilmering has committed his future to the club, signing a new two-year deal that will see him remain until the conclusion of the Isuzu UTE A-League 2025-26 season.
Wilmering made his move to the Jets before the start of the 2023-24 season and the 24-year-old full-back has since made 53 appearances for the team.
Previously a key player for Western Sydney Wanderers, Wilmering was instrumental last season, earning 23 starts from 26 appearances under the guidance of former manager Rob Stanton.
“Since I arrived in Newcastle, I have adored both the city and playing in front of our supporters,” Wilmering stated following the announcement of his new deal.
“We are constructing something truly exciting and I eagerly look forward to stepping onto the pitch before a full stadium.
“I recognise the club has significant aspirations this season and I am excited to contribute to it. I’m keen for what lies ahead.”

He further added: “After my discussions with Mark Milligan, I’m looking forward to getting back to business and I’m determined to have an even better season with the team.”
Wilmering’s contract extension is part of the Jets’ recent strategy, which also includes the announcement of a new one-year deal for Japanese sensation Kota Mizunuma.
“Daniel has demonstrated significant development in recent seasons,” remarked new head coach Milligan.
“He possesses the potential to keep advancing and become a multi-dimensional threat on the field.
He continued: “We’re thrilled that Daniel has chosen to stay with the Jets. He embodies the qualities we seek in a player to help establish a culture and playing style that captivates our supporters.”
“He’s sure to continue flourishing in our environment.”
