An Aussie lands at Swindon Town!​

League Two outfit Swindon Town have announced the signing of Australian defender Kaelan Majekodunmi on a one-year deal, following a successful trial at the club.

Majekodunmi, who made 15 appearances in the A-League for Perth Glory, has been with Swindon since the start of pre-season and ‘impressed during friendlies against Crystal Palace, Bristol City, Leyton Orient, and Forest Green Rovers’.

Most recently the 22-year-old defender was playing in NPL Western Australia with Olympic Kingsway.

“The games have been good; it’s been a different environment for me, but I’ve felt really good, and it’s been a really good test,” he told the club’s official website.

“I think I’ve done well so far and I’m excited to keep going; it’s been a lot of hard work, so I’m really excited for the season to come.

Aussie young gun signs new deal with EPL club​

Aussie goalkeeper Steven Hall has signed a new two-year deal with Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 21-year-old joined the Seagulls from Adelaide United in 2024 and is yet to make his first team debut, but has been featured in the club’s pre-season friendlies in recent weeks after starring for their youth sides.

“Steven played a big part in the team that won Premier League 2 last season and also had some valuable experiences with our first team squad in the second half of the year,” Brighton’s U21 head coach Shannon Ruth said.

“He has shown an excellent level of professionalism both with us and Australia at youth level and we have been impressed with his progress since joining us. We’re delighted to continue to work with him.”

Hall will hope to one day challenge Patrick Beach for the Socceroos’ No. 1 spot, having featured prominently for the Olyroos.

The 35-year-old returns to the Roar after two seasons in India with Mohun Bagan, where he won the ISL Shield and ISL Cup, becoming a fan favourite in the process.

“When the opportunity came up to return to the Roar, the decision was an easy one,” Aldred said.

“My family loved living in Brisbane and it was a privilege to wear the orange shirt for as long as I did during my five years here.
