Perth Glory young gun Abdul Faisal has farewelled the Isuzu UTE A-League team by mutual consent so he can return to his family in New South Wales.
Faisal departs Perth for personal reasons seven months after joining the Glory from Macarthur Bulls’ youth side – Bulls FC Academy.
The 19-year-old winger with “enormous potential” made 10 A-Leagues appearances in Glory colours after impressing with three goals in three Australia Cup matches upon his arrival.
“It’s been very challenging for Abdul being away from the close family environment that he is used to and he has requested to return home to Sydney,” said Glory football director Stan Lazaridis.
“I’ve personally worked closely with Abdul and regard him as a very gifted player who has enormous potential, but he has struggled to adapt off the pitch since he’s been with us and that has taken its toll on him.
“We would like to thank Abdul for all his efforts during his time with us and sincerely wish him all the very best in his future endeavours.”
