The Roar broke the disappointing news on Friday, shocking football fans across the country.
Carlo Armiento, Nikola Mileusnich, Jonas Markovski, James Nikolovski, Ayom Majok leave the club with expiring contracts.
“Additionally, Taras Gomulka and Shae Cahill have received mutual terminations and will also be leaving the club,” the Roar said in a statement.
“Brisbane Roar would like to thank all departing players for their contribution to the club and wish them all the best for the future.”
Fans had high hopes that Shae Cahill’s trajectory would be like that of his famous father and one day he would star for the Socceroos.
Shae joined the youth academy of English Premier League club Everton when he was just 14 years old.
And in the 2022/23 season, he made nine appearances for Everton’s under-18 side in the U18 English Premier League.
It was only nine months ago that the Roar announced his signing.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Shae Cahill from Everton’s world-class academy to Brisbane Roar,” club boss Kaz Patafta said.
“Securing such a promising young midfielder is a testament to our club’s new vision to integrate young talent into our squad and first team environment.
“The addition of Shae promises an exciting era ahead for the Roar family.”
Unfortunately, this “era” ended prematurely.
Tim Cahill, 44, has 108 caps for Australia and holds the record for most goals scored for the Socceroos (50).
Only Matildas superstar Sam Kerr (69) has scored more goals for the Australian national football team.
Cahill also featured in four World Cup campaigns, which is still an Australian record.
