Sydney FC have bolstered their midfield pack ahead of the 2026-27 Isuzu UTE A-League campaign with the signing of former midfielder Jake Hollman on a three-year deal.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old returns to Sydney after spending last season in England with EFL League Two side Walsall FC and becomes the first permanent signing under new Head Coach Patrick Kisnorbo.<\/p>\n

Hollman struggled for minutes during his time in the UK but returns to Australia looking to recapture the excellent form that initially saw him earn a move to the Saddlers.<\/p>\n

After coming through the Sydney FC academy Hollman was then snapped up by fellow Isuzu UTE A-League side Macarthur Bulls.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old would go on to make more than 100 appearances for the Bulls, registering 16 goals and nine assists as he helped Macarthur win two Australia Cup crowns.<\/p>\n

Now back where it all began, Hollman admits the opportunity to return to his boyhood club is one he couldn\u2019t turn down.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing back to Sydney FC feels like coming home,\u201d said Hollman, after news of the move was made official.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the club where I developed as a player and as a person. I have so many great memories from my Academy years and winning the National Youth League Grand Final with a fantastic group of players.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot over the past few years, both in the A-League and during my time in England, and I feel I\u2019m returning a better player with a lot more experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I spoke with Patrick and Alex (Baumjohann) about the vision for the future, it was something I really wanted to be part of.<\/p>\n

\u201cSydney FC has always been a club that expects success and that\u2019s exactly the environment I want to be in. I can\u2019t wait to pull on the Sky Blue jersey again and get started.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sydney FC Head Coach Patrick Kisnorbo said Hollman\u2019s return was an exciting addition for the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cJake is a player we know very well and someone who understands exactly what it means to represent Sydney FC.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has come through our Academy, experienced success in the A-League, tested himself overseas and is now returning as a more mature and complete footballer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got excellent energy, quality on the ball and a tremendous work ethic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 24, he is entering some of the best years of his career and we\u2019re delighted to bring him home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollman will join the Sky Blues when at Sky Park in late June as the squad begins preparations for the 2026-27 campaign, including the Sydney Super Cup clash with Tottenham Hotspur and the Australia Cup 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney FC have bolstered their midfield pack ahead of the 2026-27 Isuzu UTE A-League campaign with the signing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1264,1417,1418,152,247,6423,24641],"class_list":["post-27628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sydney","tag-a-league-men","tag-a-leagues","tag-almfeatured","tag-news","tag-sydney","tag-transfer","tag-transfer-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
