Adelaide United is delighted to announce the signing of exciting young Australian winger Jacob Brazete on a three-year deal, with an option for a further season.
The 20-year-old joins the Reds after spending the past two seasons with Brisbane Roar, where he made 25 appearances.
A right-footed attacker capable of playing on either wing, Brazete enjoyed a breakout season with the Roar during the 2024/25 campaign, scoring a sensational long-range strike against Adelaide United in a 1-1 draw at Coopers Stadium.
Brazete has been training with the Reds throughout pre-season and has impressed with his attacking quality, versatility and willingness to develop.
“Adelaide play a really beautiful, free-flowing and progressive attacking style of football, and as an attacking player, that’s all you could really wish for, so I am so excited to be here,” Brazete said.
“Since scoring my first A-League goal here, Coopers has always had a profound place in my heart. It’s going to be really cool to walk out there in the red shirt and hopefully recreate those moments, but ones the whole stadium can enjoy.
“I know I can do big things for the Club and be an integral part of the squad. I want to win trophies, take the fans out of their seats and work hard to see what we can achieve.”
Adelaide United Football Director Mitch van Gellekom said he is excited for the potential that Brazete will bring to the Reds.
“At Adelaide United, we don’t just recruit players for what they are today. We recruit them for what they can become. We see every signing as the beginning of a development journey, and Jacob is a player we believe has significant upside,” van Gellekom said.
“He already has valuable A-League experience, but more importantly he has the mentality to keep improving. Our role is to create an environment that challenges him every day, supports his growth and allows him to maximise his potential. If he commits to that process, we’re confident he can make a real impact for Adelaide United and take another important step in his career.”
Brazete will wear the number 21 shirt for the Reds.
