Andrew Nabbout

Andrew Nabbout (born 17 December 1992) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a winger for A-League club Melbourne City.

Nabbout came on as a substitute for Besart Berisha in the 44th minute following a groin injury, with the game finishing in a 4–2 loss for after extra time.

[citation needed] Despite his impressive record Nabbout had his contract terminated mid-season as the club wanted to bring in new attacking players.

Nabbout made his Newcastle debut in a 3–1 FFA Cup Loss to his former club Melbourne Victory in which he played a full game.

In January Nabbout was awarded the Professional Footballers Australia Player of the Month and was labeled a strong candidate for the Johnny Warren Medal and was also being talked about as a possible selection in Ange Postecoglous Australian squad for the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later that year.

Sydney then proceeded to score two second half goals handing the Jets their third wooden spoon in club history, bringing an end to Nabbout's first season with Newcastle.

The following day Jets CEO Lawrie McKinna stated to local media that Newcastle had not received any offer whatsoever or that they would not consider $650,000 AUD for the transfer.

[12] On 27 November, after impressing new coach Ernie Merrick in the first 9 rounds having scored 4 goals 2 of which were braces in addition to 3 assists, Nabbout signed a two-year contract extension with the Jets keeping him at the club until the completion of the 2019–20 Season.

On 5 March 2018, Nabbout departed Newcastle Jets to join Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds for a reportedly expected $500,000 transfer fee.

In Oliveira's debut match as head coach of Urawa, Nabbout was recalled back to the matchday squad in a 1–0 loss against Kashiwa Reysol.

In July 2019, after scoring one goal in 16 appearances with Urawa Red Diamonds, Nabbout returned to Australia's A-League, signing a one-year contract with Melbourne Victory.

[17][18] On 28 January 2020, he scored the only goal in a shock 1-0 win over the Kashima Antlers in an AFC Champions League qualifying play-off.

It was announced on 1 September that Nabbout would join Perth Glory FC for the upcoming 2020–21 season set to start in December 2020.

[23] Despite this, coach Ange Postecoglou did not select him in the squad for the World Cup, making it still possible for Nabbout to play for Lebanon.
