The impressive career of former All Whites goalkeeper Glen Moss has reached another milestone after the veteran gloveman brought up his 250^th appearance in the Hyundai A-League.

Moss started on the bench as the Newcastle Jets took on Melbourne City in what turned out to be their last bout of action before the postponement of the season, a decision that was made earlier this week due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Jets signed off for now by triumphing 2-1 and a memorable moment for Moss arrived towards the end of the match, coach Carl Robinson granting the 37-year-old the honour of reaching the 250 mark in what could potentially be the final game of his career.

Moss retired from international duty two years ago after making 29 appearances for the All Whites and stated at the start of this A-League season that it would be his final campaign.

“I’ve made this decision early and informed the club so they have enough time to plan for next season,” he said at the time.

“I’m extremely proud of the career I’ve had in football across nearly 20 years, and there’s no place I’d rather finish than here in Newcastle.”

The future of the current A-League season is being reviewed and a further assessment is scheduled for 22 April, leaving Moss and co to wait and see if they will get a chance to extend their season.

Prior to arriving at the Jets, Moss had two spells at the Wellington Phoenix and also played for Melbourne Victory and Gold Coast United.

Born in New Zealand but raised in Australia, he wore the silver fern at both U-20 and U-23 level before graduating to the senior All Whites, making his debut against Malaysia in 2006 and notching eight clean sheets.

His last involvement in an All Whites squad was for the FIFA World Cup Intercontinental Playoff match against Peru in November of 2017.

He plans to stay involved in the game after hanging up his boots.

“I have a real passion for coaching and I’m excited at the opportunity to pass on my knowledge,” he said.
