The NRMA Insurance Western Sydney Wanderers will farewell Mario Shabow at the end of the 2016/17 Hyundai A-League season.

A Western Sydney local and Wanderers foundation Member, Shabow was rewarded a first-team contract in May last year after impressing as a key player in the Red & Black’s Foxtel National Youth League and National Premier League sides.

During his time at the Club, the 18-year-old made one Hyundai A-League appearance and one Asian Champions League appearance.

“Mario is a fantastic individual who is warmly regarded throughout the entire Wanderers family.

"We hope that this opportunity will help him progress further in his career and we wish him the very best in the next stage of his football journey" said Wanderers CEO John Tsatsimas.
