Julian Schwarzer signs with Welsh club Newtown AFC
Newtown AFC are excited to unveil that Philippines international goalkeeper, Julian Schwarzer Garcia, as their latest signing of the transfer window.
The former Fulham player joins the Robins as a free agent, having left Indonesian Liga 1 side Arema FC in the summer.
Schwarzer Garcia is a product of Fulham’s academy and had loan spells in the English non-league system before playing in the Malaysian Super League and Liga 1.
The 25-year-old, who initially joins Newtown until the end of the season, is an extremely quick and agile goalkeeper who is comfortable on the ball.
Schwarzer Garcia is the son of former Australian international goalkeeper, Mark Schwarzer, who played for the likes of Chelsea and Middlesbrough during his illustrious career.
Robins Head Coach, Callum McKenzie, said of the signing: Julian is an exciting signing and fills a place in the squad that we’ve clearly needed to strengthen. Julian’s had a really interesting career and his experience and in particular his distribution will add another dimension to our game in phase 2.
Julian commented - I’m delighted to have signed for Newtown. I’m really looking forward to the challenge ahead and I’ll do whatever I can to help the club achieve its goals for the remainder of the season.
