Apostolos Stamatelopoulos

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos of Motherwell was born on 9 April 1999 (age 27).

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos (born 9 April 1999, age 27) is an Australian striker with Motherwell, where he wears the number 9 shirt. His current market value is around £468,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came with Newcastle United Jets in 2023–2024, when he scored 17 goals in 25 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his senior career: a centre-forward able to carry a proper scoring load when the fit is right.

In 2025–2026, his season was split between Sydney FC and Motherwell. He made 10 league appearances and scored two goals for Sydney before becoming a regular first-team presence at Fir Park, where he made 19 league appearances and scored six goals.

Stamatelopoulos is now established as part of Motherwell’s senior squad rather than a passing option. His career to this point has moved from Australian football to a steady role in Scotland, with his best return still coming from that Newcastle Jets season.
