About Nicholas
Nicholas D’Agostino signed his first professional contract with A-League club Brisbane Roar in 2016, with the striker earning occasional game time in Queensland before signing with Perth Glory in 2019.
In Western Australia, D’Agostino looked to seize a stronger role in a first-team environment.
Last year D'Agostino was chosen to partake in the Asian U23 Championship qualifiers against South Korea, where he scored two goals to help Australia advance to the finals of the competition.
In the competitions’ finals, D’Agostino emerged as the talisman for the Australian side. The forward scored three goals in the competition, including the decisive strike against Uzbekistan in the bronze medal match to clinch his nation a spot at the Olympic Games.
Nicholas would later make his senior Socceroo debut in 2022 for the Asian qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup in a 1-0 loss against Saudi Arabia.
At 23, D’Agostino made his Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, where he came on as a substitute in Australia’s first two games and began Australia’s final tie against Egypt.
