Nicholas D'Agostino (born 25 February 1998) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Perth Glory.
Club career
Brisbane Roar
D'Agostino signed a two-year contract with Brisbane Roar on 5 August 2016.[1]
Perth Glory
In June 2019, following new coach Robbie Fowler's changes in squads, D'Agostino left Brisbane Roar and joined Perth Glory.[2] On 7 August 2019, D’Agostino made his competitive debut for Perth Glory, in a FFA Cup fixture against Western Sydney Wanderers.
International career
He was selected by Graham Arnold for the Under 23 team in the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualifiers which took place in Cambodia.[3] After being goalless in his first two matches, he scored a double in the final group match against South Korea to help Australia advance through to the finals which is going to be held in Thailand.[4]
In the main tournament, D'Agostino became the hero for Australia, having scored only three goals, but mostly important one which guaranteed his team a victory over Thailand at the group stage, and especially, the only goal against Uzbekistan in the third-place encounter which clinched Australia a place for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
In 2019 the Maltese F.A. were keen on verifying D'Agostino's eligibility to represent Malta at first team level, due to having Maltese grandparents.
