P11 Football is proud to confirm the transfer of our client, Phillip Cancar, from Newcastle Jets to Western Sydney Wanderers.
The 23-year-old central defender returns to his hometown club, adding depth and quality to the Wanderers’ backline ahead of the new A-League Men season. Having established himself as a composed and athletic presence during his time with the Jets, Cancar’s return to Western Sydney marks an exciting next step in his career.
A product of the Western Sydney Wanderers academy, Phillip now returns as a more experienced and well-rounded player, with valuable top-flight experience under his belt and a growing leadership presence on the pitch.




“This club is home to me. I made my debut here, and once I spoke to the coach, I was all in. We’re heading in the right direction, and I want to be a part of it. My goals are to win and be a leader on the pitch, but also to be a good person off the pitch and give back to the fans and community for everything they do for this club.”
Phillip Cancar / Western Sydney Wanderers Player
“Phillip’s a great addition to the group; he knows what this club is about and brings the right mindset. We see great potential in him as he looks to continue his development, and we’re confident he’ll progress in this environment. He’s got the drive to improve and understands the standards we expect. We’re looking forward to helping him grow as both a player and a leader.”
Alen Stajcic / Western Sydney Wanderers Head coach
“We’re really happy for Phil; he has thoroughly earned this move to WSW, a top A-League side. We all know what he is capable of and the ability he possesses, so we’re confident he will embrace the new challenge with open arms and show everyone what he can do.”
