Former Socceroo announces retirement

Former Socceroo Tommy Oar has announced his retirement from professional football aged just 30.

Oar made 28 appearances for the Socceroos and has spent his last two seasons playing at MacArthur FC.

He also spent time in Denmark and also in the UK, returning to Australia in 2006 to resume his A-League career.

“I have been fortunate to meet some wonderful people over the last 14 years, travel to and live in some amazing places, enjoy some incredible moments with teammates and staff, and I am extremely proud of what I have been able to achieve,” Oar said.

“I’d like to thank everyone for their support since I was a young boy, allowing me to achieve my football dream.”

“I’m excited for the future and continuing my passion and support for football from the sidelines.”
