Jaushua James Elie Sotirio (born 11 October 1995) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Indian Super League club Kerala Blasters.
Sotirio began his professional career at Western Sydney Wanderers, and made his league debut on 14 December 2013 at Hunter Stadium against Newcastle Jets.[2] His starting debut came on 15 November 2014 against Perth Glory, where he also scored in the 2–1 defeat.
Sotirio spent 6 seasons at the Wanderers, making a total of 81 league appearances for the club, before departing at the end of the 2018–19 season.[3]
Following his departure from Western Sydney, Sotirio joined Wellington Phoenix.[4]
Sotirio spent 3 seasons at Wellington Phoenix, making 65 league appearances, before leaving after the 2021–22 season.[5]
Sotirio's next move was to the Newcastle Jets for the 2022–23 season.[6] Sotirio spent just one season at the club before departing in May 2023.[7]
Immediately after his release from Newcastle was announced, it was announced in May 2023 that Sotirio had joined Indian Super League club Kerala Blasters on a two-year deal. The Blasters also paid an undisclosed amount of transfer fee to sign Sotirio.[8] On 19 July 2023, Kerala Blasters announced that Sotirio suffered an ankle injury on his right leg during a training session and would remain out of action until at least 2024. He ruptured his achilles tendon, which required surgery.[9]
Sotirio has dual citizenship (French and Australian); both of his parents are from New Caledonia.[10]
