Diego Castro

Castro has taken the Hyundai A-League by storm since arriving as a marquee signing for Glory in August 2015. He took out the Johnny Warren Medal in his debut season for the club and came close to retaining it the following year. The attacker's first two campaigns yielded 25 goals along with innumerable assists, earning him the nickname 'El Maestro' and by the end of the 2019/20 season, he had racked up 115 appearances and scored 43 goals. The Spaniard has claimed the club's Most Glorious Player Award on three occasions. The 35-year-old had previously spent his entire career in his native Spain, starting out with his hometown club, Pontevedra and later representing Malaga, Sporting Gijon and Getafe. His father Fernando was a successful coach who worked for a number of high-profile clubs including Sevilla, Celta Vigo and Sporting Braga.
