Glory Football Director Stan Lazaridis believes that Scicluna is a player with great potential.

“He’s technically good, reads the game and keeps the ball well, has a great engine and is ready for a breakout season.
“He’ll help provide strong competition in a crucial position and we’re excited to see him develop with us over the next couple of years.”
