Western Sydney Wanderers player Gabriel Cleur quits A-League for psychology career
Western Sydney Wanderers have confirmed defender Gabriel Cleur has left the club after deciding to step away from professional football in order to pursue a career away from the game.

Cleur, a local product who joined the Wanderers in 2022, made 60 appearances for the Red & Black and became a familiar figure in the Isuzu UTE A-League.

However, the full-back has now chosen to prioritise his education and family life, with plans to focus on his long-term goal of becoming a psychologist.

Wanderers CEO Scott Hudson praised the maturity of the decision and the professionalism Cleur showed during his time with the club.
Gab has shown great maturity in making a decision that prioritises his long-term future.

Not every football journey follows the same path, and we respect Gab's choice to focus on his education and family while reflecting positively on the time he spent with our club.

He represented the Wanderers with professionalism and dedication, and we thank him for his contribution to the Red & Black.

Stajcic Pays Tribute to 'Wonderful Human Being'

Wanderers head coach Alen Stajcic also paid tribute to Cleur's attitude and impact, describing him as a key contributor across the last 18 months.
In the last 18 months Gab has been a fantastic contributor to our team, demonstrating high levels of intense constant effort, discipline and hard work.

Gab is a wonderful human being, and I wish him and his family all the best in his future.

A Local Journey and International Experience

Cleur, an Australian youth international, previously spent time in Europe with Italian clubs Alessandria and Virtus Entella before returning home to the A-League and his boyhood club in Western Sydney.

In his farewell message, Cleur said it was an honour to represent the Wanderers and that the club would always hold a special place in his heart.
As a Western Sydney boy, I am honoured and proud to have been given the opportunity to play for my club.

The Western Sydney Wanderers will always be special to me in my heart. I am blessed to have worked with so many incredible people - players, coaching staff, and office staff alike, and I will cherish the many memories I have made alongside everyone at the club.

I am thankful to God for the time I have spent here, and I wish everyone all the best for the future.

This was a carefully considered decision to focus on my future as a psychologist and prioritise family life.
Cleur's departure brings an end to a memorable chapter at his hometown club, leaving Wanderers fans with one final reminder that not every football career ends with a transfer, and that sometimes the biggest decision is choosing life beyond the pitch.
