We look forward to seeing Giordano bring his energy, creativity and ability on the ball to our midfield as we continue to build a strong, competitive squad.

“Together, we are excited for what lies ahead in this new chapter for FC Tulsa and for Giordano as he embarks on this exciting journey with us.”

Coming through the Glory’s development program, Colli tallied 10 goals across 41 appearances for the club’s reserve team in the NPL between 2020-23. He subsequently recorded three goals and eight assists in 58 appearances for the Glory at the A-League level, logging 3,881 minutes of action in league play.

His 2023-24 campaign saw him post a career-best five assists and 107 crosses while starting all 27 matches for the club. Colli won A-League Goal of the Year in 2022-23, netting a long-range effort against Adelaide United.
