Adam Pavlesic (born 30 July 2002) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Central Coast Mariners.[1]
Career
Sydney FC
Pavlesic joined Sydney FC in 2017, as a 15 year old. In December 2019, 17-year-old Pavlesic was granted permission by Sydney to travel to Europe following invitations from Italian side AS Roma and French side RC Strasbourg to train with their academies. The offers came on the back of the youngsters performances for the Joeys in their 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign.[2]
On 26 November 2020, he made his professional debut for Sydney in the club's 2020 AFC Champions League 1–0 loss against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.[3][4]
On 2 April 2022, Pavlesic made his A-League debut during Round 21 of the 2021–22 season against Western Sydney in the Sydney Derby, which Sydney won 3–2.[5]
On 9 December 2023, Pavlesic returned to first-team action with Sydney, after more than 20 months since his last appearance for the Sky Blues, in the club's 2–0 loss at home against Macarthur. The 21-year-old replaced forward Patrick Wood following a 15th minute red card for first choice goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, who was judged to have committed a handball offence.[6]
With Redmayne suspended for a game, Pavlesic was chosen to start for Sydney in their 3–0 away loss against Melbourne Victory on 16 December.[7] He returned to the bench following Redmayne's return from suspension.[8]
Pavlesic departed Sydney FC at the end of the 2023-24 season.[9]
Central Coast Mariners
Pavlesic joined the defending two-time A-League champions, the Central Coast Mariners, ahead of the 2024–25 season.[10] Pavlesic made his debut for the club on 7 August 2024, in a 2024 Australia Cup round of 32 tie against Heidelberg United.[11]
He made his continental debut in the AFC Champions League Elite with a 3-1 loss to Shandong Taishan, and followed that with a red card against Buriram United at home in Gosford when his side were already two goals down.
Personal life
Pavlesic's brother, Anthony is a goalkeeper for Bayern Munich, having also been with the Central Coast Mariners in their academy.[12] Pavlesic is of Croatian descent.[13]
