Stallions mean business in 2026
Fresh off a run to the Australian Championship Grand Final, Marconi Stallions enter 2026 eager to convert continental success into domestic silverware.
Peter Tsekenis remains at the helm, overseeing a squad with a youthful edge, the average age sits at just 23. New signings Teng Kuol, Pearson Kasawaya, Jack Armson and Adam Bugarija add firepower, with Armson widely regarded as one of the league’s most influential attacking midfielders on his day.
They join established leaders Marko Jesic, Franco Maya, Damian Tsekenis and George Daniel in what shapes as a genuine title-challenging squad.
The return from injury from one of the league’s most consistent defenders in Anton Mlinaric who missed the entire 2025 NPL Men’s NSW season, his inclusion will be key in keeping things tight at the back.
One big departure is Marconi keeper James Hilton who was highly regarded as one of the best this league has seen for quite some time.
Former Central Coast Mariners NPL keeper Joel Wade will hope to follow Hilton’s form coming into a big 2026 season.
After a demanding 2025 calendar and a significant player turnover, Marconi’s early-season form will be one to monitor closely.
2026 Squad:
Tyren Burnie, Cameron Windust, Anton Mlinaric, George Daniel, Teng Kuol, Franco Maya, Adam Bugarija, Damian Tsekenis, Marko Jesic, Matej Busek, Julian Monge, Jack Armson, Aleksander Duricic, Luca Pecora, Sunday Yona, Pearson Kasawaya, Oliver Yates, Noah Anderson, Joel Wade, Luka Strbac, Quinten Blair, Christiano Imola.
