Jonathan Aspropotamitis (born 7 June 1996), commonly known as Jonathan Aspro, is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Western Sydney Wanderers.[1]
Educated at Newington College[2] he made his professional debut on 11 March 2015 vs Melbourne City FC in a 3–2 victory for the Western Sydney Wanderers at Pirtek Stadium.
He made his Asian Champions League debut on 7 April 2015 vs FC Seoul in a 1–1 draw at Pirtek Stadium.
"Aspro" signed his 1st professional senior contract with the Western Sydney Wanderers on 31 May 2015.
Early in the 2015–16 season Aspro got the opportunity to fill in for the experienced Alberto Aguilar who sustained an injury in the round 4 encounter v Perth Glory. An assured display from the young centre back, coupled with the Wanderers first win of the season, lead to his selection over the following weeks.
A string of solid performances lead the Wanderers to move quickly and extend the young centre backs contract for a further 2 seasons, Wanderers CEO said of the signing “We think he will continue to develop here and really go to the next level as a centre back. He has the maturity, the composure and the determination to become a very important player for this club and we are delighted to have him sign for an additional two years.”
