Born on the 4th of July in the millennium year and currently aged 24, Joe Gauci is a goalkeeper hailing from Australia. He currently guards the goalpost for Premier League Club, Aston Villa. Possessing an imposing physique, Gauci measures 6ft and 4in tall (1.94m) and tips the scales at 12st 10lb (81kg). He proudly dons the number 18 jersey for his club.
Gauci's market value, estimated to be around £1.3 million, is sourced from Transfermarkt. To secure his services, his contract with Aston Villa, set to expire on the 30th of June 2028, has three and a half years still pending.
The goalkeeper's footballing journey began in West Torrens Birkalla in the NPL, Australia. This was back in July 2018 when he later transferred to his country's A-League side, Central Coast Mariners. His talents did not go unnoticed for long as Manchester City in the Premier League, England, acquired his services in July 2019. However, his time in England was brief and he transferred to Melbourne City in the A-League in Australia for an undisclosed fee in September of the same year.
In October 2020, Gauci moved back and forth within the A-League, switching from Melbourne City to join Adelaide United. Gauci featured prominently in Adelaide's first team, making ten appearances in the league during his debut season 2020-2021. The following season saw Gauci feature consistently, making 19 appearances. This went up to 26 appearances in the 2022-2023 season. Despite his team role reducing to 10 appearances in the subsequent 2023-2024 season, the nature of his performances indicated a promising future.
In February 2024, the Premier League once again came calling, this time from Aston Villa. They secured Gauci's services for a transfer fee of around £1.3 million. His current 2024-2025 season with Aston Villa hasn't seen him make his league debut yet. However, he's already participated in the League Cup for the club, making two starts.
