Emmanuel "Manny" Muscat (born December 7, 1984 in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian born Maltese football player who currently plays as a defender for Template:ALeague WP in the A-League.
Club career
Early career
Raised in West Sunshine, Melbourne, Manny Muscat played for Sunshine George Cross where he was made captain at the age of 19, then made the switch to rivals Green Gully where he had the most successful years in his Victorian Premier career.
Wellington Phoenix
Template:ALeague WP signed him from Green Gully in August 2008, initially as a short-term injury replacement for the injured Vince Lia[1], but he was later offered a full contract and signed on as a contracted player.[2]
Muscat made a total of twenty-six appearances for the Wellington Phoenix in the 2009-10 season, including all three of the final series matches. After getting the only red card of Wellingtons season, fellow Phoenix player Troy Hearfield picked up Muscats usuall role of right back. This change pushed Muscat into a defensive midfield role for Wellington where Muscat continued to play through the rest of the season. Many would argue that Muscat is more suited as a devensive midfielder than a right back after some amazing preformances in the position. On 20 October 2009, Manny Muscat was rewarded for his fine form as he extended his contract with Wellington Phoenix for another three years.[3]
International career
On May 11, 2009, Muscat was called up to the Maltese national team for their upcoming friendly against the Czech Republic and a 2010 World Cup qualifier against Sweden.[4] He made his international debut against the Czech Republic, and was used as a late substitute for the game against Sweden.
