Nikola Mileusnic

Nikola Mileusnic joined the Wellington Phoenix in August after signing a one-year deal with the club.

The Australian forward has played more than 200 professional matches, primarily in the A-League, and is renowned as one of the competition’s fastest ever players having been clocked at 36.2km/h during a match.

Mileusnic started his professional career at his hometown club Adelaide United and made 97 appearances for the Reds over four seasons, scoring 16 goals and creating 11 others while also winning back-to-back Australia Cup titles.

He joined Randers FC in Denmark in 2020 and was part of their Danish Cup winning team in 2021.

Mileusnic returned to the A-League after a year in Europe and went on to make 74 appearances for the Brisbane Roar over three seasons, scoring 14 goals and assisting nine.

He signed with Perth Glory for the 2024-25 season.

Nikola Mileusnic had an injury-disrupted season in Perth and was limited to 15 appearances for the Glory across the A-League and Australia Cup.

Mileusnic is looking to make a “fresh start” at the Phoenix.

“I love to score goals and assist, and ultimately I want to help the Phoenix win games,” Mileusnic said.

“My speed is still something I try to use to my advantage to help the team out.

“I just want to come in and work hard and hopefully bring some good days to the club’s fans.”
