Hume makes changes

Hume City will have a different look in the back half of the National Premier League season as it aims to get its season back on track.

Hume has been busy in the transfer window with a number of new signings, but have also lost a number of key players.

Former Brisbane Roar Academy player Jacson Riley joins the club.

“Jacson brings a wealth of experience and a commendable track record in the goalkeeping domain,” Hume said on social media.

“With exceptional reflexes, unwavering commitment, and a true passion for the game, Jacson is set to fortify our defence and elevate our team to new heights.”

Aimilio Kista is another joining Hume. He is described as having an exceptional skill set, lightning-fast speed, and impressive goal-scoring ability make him a formidable force on the field.

Josh Gulevski makes the move from Canberra to the club.

“Josh brings a unique set of abilities to our squad,” the club said. “His vision on the field, precision passing, and knack for creating scoring opportunities will undoubtedly elevate our game.”

Evan Waldrep joins the club from America and is set to boost Hume’s midfield stocks.

Birhan Elibol returns to the club after a short stint away and will help sure up Hume’s defence.

Some of Hume’s biggest names are on the move though.

Having already announced the departure of Mitch Cooper, the club announced a number of other departures.

Harry Monaghan, who previously captained the club is on the move.

“Harry has been an integral part of leading our senior squad, delivering 100 per cent week in week out,” the club said.

“While we will undoubtedly miss his presence on the pitch, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Harry for his unwavering commitment and exemplary leadership throughout his tenure at Hume City FC.”

Goalkeeper Rory Brian departs after 12 months at the club, while Koray Cekic, Yagoub Mustafa and Dylan McGlade are also moving on.

Cekic had been at the club for 11 years after starting as a junior, while the other two were only at the club for a short time.

After 19 rounds, Hume sits 10th with just four wins.
