Kuol signed a deal with the Central Coast Mariners Academy in January 2021.

Contract
Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners, with the Australian forward joining the club in January.
“It’s unreal. As a young boy in Australia, the Premier League is the main thing that everyone watches but nobody actually thinks they’ll reach those heights,” said Kuol.
“To be one of those people, to be in the position I am, it’s amazing.”
“He’s very sharp, agile, quick, a good finisher,” said Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.
“He’s got a lot of very positive ingredients. That is going to be nurtured and developed in the next couple of years to get him at the right level for the Premier League.
“I met him for the first time in person yesterday. That was a very good conversation. He is a very confident, independent lad who has got high motivation.”
Kuol earned his first Australia cap last week becoming the youngest player to represent his country since former Leeds and Liverpool Harry Kewell in 1996.
Kuol, who only signed his first professional deal in June, has emerged as a late bolter for the Socceroos’ Qatar 2022 squad after four goals in his seven substitute appearances for the Mariners.
He also impressed in a cameo in a post-season friendly against Barcelona, earning praise from opposition manager Xavi.
Garang Kuol fifa 23
Australian winger Garang Kuol has recently signed for Newcastle United in real life, touted by many as a potential wonderkid. But how good is he in FIFA 23?
Garang Kuol has an overall rating of 59 in FIFA 23, so he probably won’t walk straight into the starting line-up of any serious squad.
However, it’s very much worth noting that Garang Kuol has a potential rating of 82, meaning that you could develop him into a very strong prospect if you put the legwork in.
Although his crossing is only currently 57, while his short passing is 52 and his finishing is 63, it’s in the movement/speed stats that Garang Kuol really shines: he already has 83 acceleration and 83 sprint speed, meaning that he can leg it down the line for you already, even though his footwork needs improvement.
In FIFA Ultimate Team, Garang Kuol is quite an affordable player at the moment in FIFA 23. The lowest starting price we’ve seen today is 600 coins. That being said, we have seen ‘buy now’ prices skyrocketting up to numbers as high as 5,100 coins.
Meanwhile, in Career Mode, the price listed for Garang Kuol is a very tempting £667,000, with his wages at Central Coat Mariners being just £430. He would make a very tidy addition to a Career Mode squad, then, especially if you’re planning to play for a few seasons so you can develop him.

In September 2022, Kuol earned his first senior national team call up, being selected in the Australian squad to play two friendlies against New Zealand. His debut came as a second-half substitute in the second game, in Auckland.

Signing a contract that, according to reports, will make the 18-year-old one of Australia’s highest-paid footballers, the attacker will complete his move to the English Premier League when the transfer window opens in January.
Central Coast, who moved to sign him to a two-year deal in June, are expected to receive a transfer fee of close to half a million dollars for the talented youngster, as well as the promise of lucrative sell-on fees.
“It’s unreal,” Kuol said in a statement. “As a young boy in Australia, the Premier League is the main thing that everyone watches, but nobody actually thinks they’ll reach those heights. To be one of those people, to be in the position I am, it’s amazing.
“Now that I’ve signed for Newcastle, I want to train hard, play hard, hopefully go to the World Cup and come back here.”
