Newtown AFC have made a major move in the transfer window by signing Philippines international goalkeeper Julian Schwarzer Garcia.

The 25-year-old arrives as a free agent following his departure from Indonesian Liga 1 side Arema FC last summer. With experience spanning several leagues and countries, Schwarzer Garcia is set to strengthen Newtown’s goalkeeping department as they head into the second phase of the season.

A product of Fulham’s academy, Schwarzer Garcia honed his skills in the English non-league system during loan spells before gaining further experience in the Malaysian Super League and Indonesia’s Liga 1. Known for his exceptional reflexes, quickness, and ball-playing ability, the new signing brings both versatility and international experience to Newtown’s ranks.

Robins Head Coach Callum McKenzie praised the signing, saying:

“Julian is an exciting signing and fills a place in the squad that we’ve clearly needed to strengthen. Julian’s had a really interesting career, and his experience and, in particular, his distribution will add another dimension to our game in phase 2.”

The son of Australian goalkeeping legend Mark Schwarzer—who enjoyed a stellar Premier League career with Chelsea, Middlesbrough, and Fulham—Julian has football pedigree in his veins. Despite being born in Harrogate, England, he represents the Philippines at the international level, further highlighting his global football journey.

Commenting on his move to Newtown, Schwarzer Garcia said:

“I’m delighted to have signed for Newtown. I’m really looking forward to the challenge ahead, and I’ll do whatever I can to help the club achieve its goals for the remainder of the season.”

Schwarzer Garcia’s contract runs until the end of the current season, and fans will be eager to see the impact he can make in the Robins’ campaign. With a promising blend of experience and skill, the goalkeeper’s arrival marks a bold step in Newtown’s ambitions for success.
