Forgotten striker seals move to Czech giants ahead of 2026 World Cup with the Socceroos

Garang Kuol will seek to reignite his career after the forgotten Socceroo snared a move to Czech powerhouse Sparta Prague from Premier League outfit Newcastle United.

The 20-year-old has joined the Czech First League club on a 'long-term' deal ahead of next year's World Cup after a troubled two-year stint in England.

Kuol had joined the Magpies in 2023 after playing in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but struggled for game time.

The former Central Coast Mariners winger was first loaned to Scottish side Hearts before struggling to break into a Volendam side that was relegated to the Dutch second division in 2024.
