Melbourne Victory are pleased to announce that Mikey Ghossaini and Jack Mihailidis have signed A-League contracts.
The senior VPL players, who have been key figures for Besart Berisha’s side in the current campaign, have agreed terms to be part of Giovanni Savarese’s squad for the 2026/27 season.
Ghossaini, who has previously made eight appearances in the Isuzu UTE A-League, joined Victory for the next stages of his development earlier this year. Working closely with Senior Academy Head Coach Besart Berisha, he started the season with a strike in Round 1 of the VPL, during a win over Eltham Redbacks, a counter that has set the tone for a competition-leading 15-goal haul from the 18-year-old striker. A former Glen Eira junior, Ghossaini has flourished working under the tutelage of Berisha.
Mihailidis joined Victory at the age of 15 from Glen Eira FC, developing in the Academy for the past five seasons. In 2024, he was part of the VPL1 championship-winning squad, and the following year, as NPL captain, won the Senior Academy – Victory Medal and played alongside his A-League colleagues in the international friendly versus Wrexham. AFC. His influence in state competition has continued into 2026, notably scoring the Round 8 matchwinner against North Geelong Warriors.
Melbourne Victory Director of Football, John Didulica, commented:
“This moment is a deserved reward for the hard work displayed, and important contributions both Mikey and Jack have made since joining the Club, with both taking assumed responsibility during the current VPL season and committing themselves to the Victory pathway.
“I look forward to each of them grasping this opportunity and growing further at Victory, where developing Victorian talent is fundamental to our vision and a big part of our ongoing success.”
Congratulations, Mikey and Jack!
