Bio
Tete Yengi provides the CommBank Socceroos with a unique combination of size, strength and mobility in attack.
The Adelaide-born striker made his professional breakthrough with Newcastle Jets before taking his career overseas, with spells in Finland and England preceding moves to Livingston in Scotland and Machida Zelvia in Japan.
Yengi earned his first senior international call-up ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ and enjoyed a dream start to his CommBank Socceroos career, scoring against Switzerland on his international debut.
Standing at almost two metres tall, Yengi offers a significant physical and aerial presence in attack. He made his World Cup debut during Australia’s opening victory over Türkiye and featured as the Socceroos progressed to the Round of 32.
The younger brother of fellow Socceroo Kusini Yengi, he has established his own place in the senior national team picture.
