Club career
Sydney FC
As an integral part of Sydney FC's youth team, Gligor featured prominently over the past two seasons which prompted the club to sign him to his first senior deal at the end of the 2011–12 A-League season. The promising young midfielder signed a two-year deal with Sydney FC along with fellow youth players Mitchell Mallia and Daniel Petkovski.[3] In May 2012, Gligor also won player of the month and received a nomination for National Youth League Player Of The Year.[4]
After many standout performances in the National Youth League, he made his first senior league appearance at just 17 years of age as a substitute on 3 November 2012 away to Central Coast Mariners.[5]
Personal life
He is the son of former Romanian footballer, Tiberiu Gligor, who emigrated to Australia in the early 1990s. Gligor is also half-Filipino on his mother's side. He is named after the great former Romanian international Gheorghe Hagi.[6]
