Jaiden Kucharski will bring blistering attacking flair to Western United after signing a two-year deal with the A-League men’s club.
The 23-year-old adds bona fide goal-scoring and creative prowess to the squad with seven goals and five assists for Sydney FC.
Three of Kucharski’s league goals were match-winning strikes in the final 10 minutes of matches.
Western United described him as equally adept at striking off either foot and that he has just about every kind of goal in his locker.
Kucharski said he is itching to get started and bring his quality to the fore.
“I’m really excited. I’ve been doing some training alone and all I want to do is get on the pitch in these colours,” he said.
“The team scores a lot of goals, they get a lot of balls in the box which is what I like.
“Hopefully I can get a good amount of goals next season and push for the top scorer, if I can.
“A lot of the boys are young, lots of vibrant and energetic flair. A lot of the good things happening last season were from young boys getting forward.
“I want to score goals, I want to do well for this team.”
Kucharski said he feels coming in, he can bring another level to the side and help it push for a grand final and silverware.
Western football general manager Mal Impiombato is eager to see Kucharski fit into United’s electric attack.
“We are delighted to welcome Jaiden to Ironbark Fields and to be able to attract a talented young player of his calibre to the football club,” he said.
“Jaiden is an ambitious young player that loves to attack, loves to score goals and set up his teammates and we believe he will fit perfectly into our final third.
“He is full of confidence and I believe he has the attributes to become a prolific goal scorer in the A-League Men. His pace, tenacity and work rate will see him add plenty of goals and energy to our already dynamic frontline.”
Pre-season training started last week.
