Central Coast Mariners have signed talented youngster David D'Apuzzo for a further season. The 20-year old has been super impressive this season after winning his first contract and the club is delighted to retain him for the 2009/2010 A-League season.

"We're delighted to have extended David's stay at the Mariners for at least a further season, we've been most impressed by his contribution to our Hyundai A-League campaign to date and we're sure that he has much more to offer our club and football in Australia," said Mariners Executive Chairman Lyall Gorman.

"David's re-signing is another significant show of intent in regards to the direction of our club in the medium to long-term, that being another tremendously exciting young player signing on for what will be a landmark period for the Mariners.
