One of Australia's top young football talents is on the move again, with Garang Kuol headed to Czech team Sparta Prague.
After joining EPL team Newcastle in 2023, Kuol completed a number of loan moves, first with Heart of Midlothian and then FC Volendam.
But the 20-year-old will now look to continue his career in the Czech First League, and re-emerge as one of the Socceroos top performers.

After rising to prominence as a member of the Socceroos 2022 World Cup squad - where at 18 he became the youngest Australian to ever be selected for the tournament - Kuol's career in Europe has somewhat stalled.
But this latest move could see a significant revival for the talented striker, joining the team who currently top the Czech First League.
"Garang is a talented winger who, despite his age, already brings plenty of experience," the team's interim Sporting Director Tomas Sivok said.
"We were impressed by his pace, his ability to operate on both sides of the pitch, and above all, his courage in one-on-one situations.
"We see great potential for growth in him. At the same time, it's important that he is given enough time to adapt."
The news was announced to cap off an impressive week for Kuol, who was named by Socceroos coach Tony Popovic to make his return to the national team after nearly a year away from the side.
