Career

Club

Brisbane Roar

Sarota was named National Youth League Player of the Year for 2008–2009.

[2] On 2 November 2008 he made his A-League debut for the Brisbane Roar against the Newcastle Jets. [3]

Utrecht

On 2 April 2010, along with fellow Brisbane Roar players, Michael Zullo and Tommy Oar, Sarota joined Dutch side Utrecht on a three-year deal, in a collective transfer deal rumoured to be worth in excess of A$1.8 million.

International career
