“Garang is a talented winger who, despite his age, already brings plenty of experience. He made the move from Australia to Newcastle, played in both the Scottish and Dutch leagues, and even appeared at the World Cup in Qatar at a very young age. 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, get used to the environment and the style of Czech football, and gradually integrate into the team,” said interim sporting director Tomáš Sivok.
Kuol signed his first professional contract with Central Coast Mariners in 2021, having joined the club at the age of 16. He quickly broke into the first team and was already featuring in the A-League during the 2021/22 season. In total, he made 22 competitive appearances for the Mariners, scoring seven goals and adding four assists.
In January 2023, he completed a transfer to Newcastle United, who subsequently sent him out on loan. He gained experience with Scottish side Heart of Midlothian before moving on to Dutch club FC Volendam, where he made 16 competitive appearances and scored once. He also featured regularly for Newcastle’s reserve team in Premier League 2, tallying five goals and four assists in 11 matches during the 2024/25 season.
On the international stage, Garang made his senior debut for Australia in 2022 at just 18 years and 10 days old. That same year, he was named in the squad for the World Cup in Qatar, coming on in the Round of 16 against Argentina. In March 2023, he scored his first international goal in a friendly against Ecuador. He has also represented Australia at both U20 and U23 levels.
Welcome to Letná, Garang! We wish you the best of luck.
