Club career

Born in Wellington, Supyk began his career in the academies of Waimakariri United and Nomads United before joining Wellington Phoenix in 2021.[1] Having progressed through the academy, he was added to the club's reserve side, playing in the Central League, where he impressed with his goal-scoring prowess.[1]

He made his professional debut for the first team in the 3–0 Australia Cup round-of-32 loss against Melbourne City on 27 August 2023, coming on as a late substitute for Kosta Barbarouses.[1] On his return from a training camp with the New Zealand under-17 squad in Japan, Supyk was officially announced as the first-team's nineteenth signing.[1] [2]

International career

Supyk was called up to the New Zealand under-17 squad for the 2023 OFC U-17 Championship, where he finished joint-top scorer alongside Tahitian Titouan Guillemant, helping New Zealand to the title.[1] [3] [4] The competition served as qualification for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, and Supyk was again called up to represent the nation in the tournament.

Personal life

Supyk's older brother is Adam Supyk, who is also a professional footballer and currently plays for Eastern Suburbs.[1]
