Western Sydney Defender Renews Contract as Wanderers Celebrate Off-Field Success with PFA Scholarship

Western Sydney Wanderers defender Gabriel Cleur has committed his future to the Isuzu UTE A-League outfit, re-signing with the club.

Having joined the Wanderers in the 2022-23 season, the 27-year-old will remain with the team until at least the conclusion of the 2025-26 season following a contract extension.

Cleur featured prominently last season, starting in all 22 of his A-League matches during the 2024-25 campaign, finding the net once as the Wanderers advanced to the Elimination Final, achieving a remarkable 12-match unbeaten run – their best form in over a decade.
