Australian goalkeeper Mat Ryan has signed a new contract with Levante for the upcoming La Liga season. The 34-year-old Socceroos captain joined the Valencia-based club in August 2025 and had a standout campaign with 36 appearances, helping the team avoid relegation. Levante, which finished the 2025 season in 14th place with 35 points (9 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses), aims to consolidate its position in the league with Ryan continuing in goal.
What does this signing mean for Levante?
Ryan’s renewal provides stability for Levante in a key position. His experience and leadership are crucial for a team looking to improve its performance next season. The club, which scored 34 goals and conceded 46 last season, relies on Ryan to maintain his level and help the team climb the standings.
What’s next for Ryan and Levante?
Ryan will now focus on pre-season preparations and the start of the new campaign, which begins on August 17 with a match against Espanyol. The goalkeeper, who has had a distinguished career in Europe, hopes to continue his strong performances and help Levante establish itself more firmly in La Liga.
Why is this important for Valencia Club de Fútbol?
While Ryan plays for Levante, his presence in the Valencia region and his experience in La Liga are relevant to Valencia Club de Fútbol fans. His career and professionalism serve as an example for young goalkeepers in the area, and his renewal strengthens the competition in the league.
