Western Sydney Wanderers have announced local product and fan favourite Scott Jamieson has departed the club with immediate effect to pursue an unnamed overseas opportunity.
Left-back Jamieson linked up with his hometown club in 2015 after spells in the A-League with Adelaide United, Sydney FC and Perth Glory, making 32 appearances in red and black hoops.
Jamieson said leaving the Wanderers behind was a difficult decision, but was excited by the chance to experience a new culture.
“It (playing for the Wanderers) has been so important to me because I grew up in the heart of Western Sydney and to be able to play for them and do so well was an incredible experience,” Jamieson said.
