Brisbane Strikers ace on trial with Central Coast Mariners
AUGUST 13, 2019Brisbane Strikers goal-scoring machine Andy Pengelly is gunning for an A-League contract with the Central Coast Mariners.
The Courier-Mail has learnt that Pengelly, the scorer of 46 goals this season – including a record 36 in the NPL Queensland competition – is in Gosford this week trialling with the Mariners.
The 22-year-old marksman netted for the Strikers in their FFA Cup round of 32 success against the Wellington Phoenix last Wednesday night at Perry Park.
The Strikers advanced to the Cup round of 16 via penalty shootout after scores were locked at 2-2 at the end of extra-time.

Pengelly was subsequently rested from the Strikers’ 3-0 NPL Queensland weekend loss to the Gold Coast Knights.
It’s expected Pengelly will be back in action for the Strikers on Saturday night when they host Olympic FC at Perry Park.
“He’s got great potential,” Strikers coach Owen Baker last month said of Pengelly.
“He can score goals, he’s got the right attitude, athletically he’s good, so I’d love to see him get a chance at a higher level.”
