[edit] Club career

He was part of the Sydney United side that won the NSW Premier League title for 2006, playing a role in Midfield that earned him a trial with the Mariners.

Jedinak was first added to the Mariners' squad in the week leading up to their 2006 Pre-Season Cup play-off against Newcastle Jets, and subsequently was called into the squad for the last ten games of the 2006-07 where he made eight appearances.

Jedinak scored his first goal for the Mariners on 22 December 2007 whilst playing in a derby match against local rivals Sydney FC in a thrilling match. He scored the first of nine goals in a record high scoring A-League game. Sydney won the game 5-4.

[edit] International career

He is an Australian youth international, having played at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championships in the United Arab Emirates, making appearances against the Czech Republic, Canada and the host nation.
