Matthew Byrne (born 5 June 1992) is an Australian soccer midfielder last playing with Eastern Suburbs FC.

Career[]

Born in Brisbane, he played with Mt Gravatt Hawks FC, Capalaba, Brisbane Force and Brisbane Roar youth teams[1] In 2011 Byrne joined Rochdale Rovers[2] and played with them in the 2011 Brisbane Premier League[3]

In January 2012 he came to Serbia for trials and signed with FK Donji Srem.[4] At the end of the season Donji Srem got promotion to the 2012–13 Serbian SuperLiga. Byrne played the first half of the season in the Serbian top tier having played 5 matches, and during the winter break he was loaned to FK Partizan farm club, FK Teleoptik,[5] playing back in the second tier.[6]

In summer 2013 he returned to Australia and joined Olympic FC.[7] Having arrived from Serbia where he regularly played as right-back, during 2014, he made a big impression in the Olympic FC team as a central defender. His performances in the PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland have earned him a nomination for the Supporters’ Team of the Year, and, subsequently, Byrne was offered a new contract for the 2015 season, which he signed.[5] In October 2014, Byrne received the Olympic FC's Senior Awards dinner at The Greek Club the award of the most consistent senior team player.[8]
