James Troisi (
Early life
Troisi was born in Rose Park, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, to Greek parents. His stepfather is Italian.[citation needed]
He signed his first professional contract with
Club career
Newcastle United
He was on the fringes of Newcastle's senior side for the
In January 2008, Troisi had a two match trial with Dutch Eredivisie club, Roda JC. Roda wanted to sign him on a permanent basis, but negotiations broke down as Troisi was a product of Newcastle's youth development and still under 23 years of age, so Newcastle would have required a compensation fee.[6]
On 6 May 2008, it was announced that Troisi would leave
Gençlerbirliği
He joined
Kayserispor
On 24 January, Troisi put mid-table
In July 2009, he joined Kayserispor on a four-year contract.[10][11]
Atalanta
On 22 August 2012
In 2013, Norwich City manager Chris Hughton confirmed in a press conference that the club had made an enquiry into his availability.[14]
Loan to Melbourne Victory
On 24 September 2013, Troisi was loaned to
His second goal for Melbourne was in front of the home fans at Etihad Stadium in a 1–0 win over Brisbane Roar on 25 October 2013, thanks to an Archie Thompson through ball pass. He scored two goals against Wellington Phoenix in a 3–2 win, and his fifth came from a free kick against Sydney FC in a 2–3 loss.[citation needed]
He scored 12 goals in the A-League and 3 in the Asian Champions League.[citation needed]
Juventus
On 20 June 2014, Juventus announced that they had secured full ownership of Troisi's contract from Atalanta for €1 million,[17][18]: 62 with the remaining 50% registration rights of Prince-Désir Gouano moved to Atalanta also for €1 million.[17][18]: 102
Loan to Zulte Waregem
On 30 August 2014, Troisi joined
Troisi featured in over twenty Pro League matches, scoring five goals in the process, including a memorable long range strike against Club Brugge, chipping his Socceroos teammate goalkeeper Mathew Ryan.[citation needed]
Loan to Ittihad
On 31 August 2015, Troisi was loaned to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.[20][21]
However, his stay was cut short. Troisi subsequently terminated the contract.[22] It was reported that Ittihad failed to pay the wage in time and the player lodged a claim with the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber, which was accepted. The further appeals of both the club and the player to the Court of Arbitration for Sport had confirmed the club had to pay Troisi the remaining wage.[23]
Liaoning Hongyun
Despite reported interest from
Melbourne Victory
On 1 August 2016, after his release from
Adelaide United
After choosing not to re-sign with Melbourne Victory, on 5 October 2019, Troisi signed a two-year deal with his hometown club Adelaide United.[28] Prior to the start of the 2020–21 A-League season Adelaide United gave Troisi permission to speak with other clubs. Bruce Djite, speaking for the club, claimed that following an improvement in the club's financial situation following other player sales, they notified Troisi that he is a required player and were therefore disappointed when Troisi requested to terminate his contract two weeks before the beginning of the season. Troisi later spoke out in the sports media to say he was not informed of that change in status. Following the disagreement, his playing contract was mutually terminated in December 2020, leaving him free to join a new club.[29][30]
