Good luck to him.

Didn't get many chances when at the Nix, but then didn't really seem to offer much when he did play.

A UK passport would have helped him get this move.
Gateshead play National League (UK fifth tier). They finished 18th of 24 teams last season.

Niche Cache.

A two-year contract in the English fifth tier for Luke Supyk following his release from the Wellington Phoenix Academy. That’s a better level than most academy grads who get released by the Nix end up at, definitely a spot he can launch a career from. The key for Supyk is that he turned up for his trial and promptly scored three goals in three games (against Blyth Town, Heaton Stannington, and Hebburn Town) whilst showing a bit of versatility across a couple different forward positions. That’s what a successful trial looks like.

Luke Supyk: “I'm delighted, really. Everyone's been real welcoming since I've come here. Had a few good games under the belt and, yeah, I'm just excited to get going for the season and meet all the fans. The lads have been helpful on the pitch as well, getting that connection, and then I just tried working my hardest. Obviously being a trialist, trying to earn a spot in the team. My contract ended with the Phoenix so I spoke to my agent and we thought the best decision was to come on trial over in the UK. They got in contact, said said Gateshead was keen, said it'd be a good fit. So, yeah, I came here on trial, and here we are.”
