Oscar Priestman

Oscar Priestman of Motherwell was born on 25 March 2003 (age 23).

Oscar Priestman, born on 25 March 2003 (age 23), is an Australian centre-midfielder with Motherwell. His market value is put at around £255,000 by Transfermarkt.

His senior career has been shaped mainly by Western Sydney Wanderers, where he made 50 league appearances over two seasons and scored two goals. The 2023–24 campaign was his most productive there, with one goal from 25 league appearances, and it gave him the regular first-team football that still frames his profile.

Priestman has remained involved since moving to Motherwell, wearing squad number 25 and playing regularly in 2025–26. He has made 27 league appearances, along with one in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup, taking him to 30 appearances in all competitions for the club without a goal.

At this stage, his career is that of a developing midfielder who built his base at Western Sydney Wanderers and is now getting steady minutes in Scotland with Motherwell.

Oscar Priestman has been involved regularly for Motherwell in the Premiership this season, with 27 league appearances, but the split between 10 starts and 17 substitute outings points to a rotation role rather than an established midfield starting place. He has not scored in the league and has one yellow card, while three further cup appearances take him to 30 games in all competitions without a goal – useful squad volume, but limited direct attacking output.

Priestman’s career path is still relatively light on hard senior output in the supplied data. The Australian midfielder has moved through Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers before joining Motherwell at 23, with the available career lines showing goals in each of the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons but no listed league appearances. His current Motherwell season is therefore the clearest evidence of regular first-team involvement.

The transfer record suggests a low-cost recruitment profile. Priestman joined Sydney FC in 2021 with no fee listed, moved to Western Sydney Wanderers on a free transfer in 2023, then switched to Motherwell in August 2025 for an undisclosed or unavailable fee. The move to the Scottish Premiership looks like a step into a more visible European market, with his value currently listed at €300k.
