Socceroos defender Trent Sainsbury has confirmed his departure from Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Haifa.
Trent Sainsbury posted a farewell message on Instagram to confirm that he had parted ways with Israeli outfit Maccabi Haifa.
The Socceroos centre back spent the 2019/20 season at the Israeli club where he played alongside fellow Socceroo Nikita Rukavytsya.
The 28-year-old thanked the Haifa fans for all their support and the incredible atmosphere they created throughout his time with the club.
“We had an amazing year, played some incredible football and brought joy to club,” Sainsbury said.
“The fans provided an atmosphere that had the stadiums jumping and it’s something I will never forget. I loved my time here. Thank you and Yalla Maccabi Haifa.”
Sainsbury made 33 appearances for Haifa last season in what was a highly successful campaign which saw them finish runners-up.
