Max Burgess (born 16 January 1995) is an Australian professional footballer who plays for Sydney FC in the A-League.
Burgess started his career at Rockdale City Suns under coach Branko Culina, where he was spotted by Sydney FC management and signed up to the Sydney FC Youth team. [1] He made his first start for the senior squad in Round 1 of the 2014-15 A-League against Melbourne City. [2]
On 28 March 2015 Newcastle Jets announced that they had signed Burgess as an injury replacement player for the remainder of the 2014–15 A-League season. Burgess made his Jet's inauguration in the Round 23 clash against Adelaide United, coming off the bench as a substitute for fellow youngster Mitch Cooper. He continued his spree of appearances, and was issued a yellow card in the 4–3 loss to Sydney FC. His A-League season culminated against the Brisbane Roar in the final round of the season, again coming on for the aforementioned Cooper in the 52nd minute. The game ended 2–1 to the Roar. [3]
On 3 August 2015, Burgess returned to Sydney FC as part of the FFA Cup squad and the Youth Team. [4]
Burgess joined Portuguese LigaPro side União in June 2017 on a three-year deal. [5]
In October 2018, Burgess joined Wellington Phoenix on a one-year contract from Sydney Olympic. [6]
On 16 May 2019, it was announced that Burgess would be departing from the Phoenix. [7] He later signed for Western United on a two-year contract. [8] Burgess scored his first hat-trick in the A-League on 1 March 2020 against Central Coast Mariners. [9]
It was announced in late May 2021, that Burgess would sign a third time for Sydney FC in controversial manner, after walking way from Western United with a season left to run on his contract. [10] [11]
The 2009–10 A-League was the 33rd season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the fifth season of the A-League competition since its establishment in 2004. The season marked the addition of two new teams from Queensland. Gold Coast United FC and the North Queensland Fury FC made their A-League debuts at the start of the season. Because of this, Queensland Roar were renamed to Brisbane Roar, as they were no longer the only A-League club from Queensland. With the inception of the two new clubs, many club transfers took place both within Australia and New Zealand, and around the world.
The 2010–11 A-League was the 34th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the sixth season of the Australian A-League soccer competition since its establishment in 2004.
