Dylan Peraić-Cullen (born 25 July 2006) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Central Coast Mariners.

Club career

Peraić-Cullen begun his football career playing his youth football for Gungahlin United in the National Premier Leagues Capital Football youth competitions, starting at the club in Under 13s.[1][2]

Central Coast Mariners

In 2022, Peraić-Cullen played in a trial match for the Capital All-Stars against Central Coast Mariners in Canberra, and impressed the Mariners enough that he was soon signed by the club to join their academy set up for the 2023 season.[3][4] Peraić-Cullen featured for the Mariners Academy in their National Premier Leagues NSW and U20 teams over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, whilst training with the A-League squad on a scholarship contract. Following the retirement of captain and club legend Danny Vukovic,[5] Peraić-Cullen was one of three young goalkeepers at the Mariners vying for the number one goalkeeper spot for the Mariners for the 2024-25 A-League season, along with Adam Pavlesic and Jack Warshawsky.[6] Peraić-Cullen was chosen to make his professional debut for the Mariners first match of the A-League season, becoming the youngest ever starting goalkeeper for the club, and the youngest in the history of the A-League to start a match and keep a clean sheet.[7] After round 4 of the A-League season, Peraic-Cullen signed his first full professional contract, until the end of the 2026-27 season.[8]

International career

Peraić-Cullen was part of the Young Socceroos squad for the 2024 ASEAN U-19 Boys Championship,[9] making three appearances in the tournament.
