Career
editCentral Coast Mariners
editOn 30 August 2023, recently-crowned A-League champions Central Coast Mariners announced the signing of Torres on a two-year contract.[1] Torres made his debut for the club in an away AFC Cup fixture against Malaysian club Terengganu FC, and his league debut in the Mariners first game of the new season as defending champions, against Adelaide United in Adelaide. In the Mariners third game of the league season against Perth Glory in Perth, Torres was given a straight red card for slapping an opposition player, Jacob Muir, in the back of the head.[2]
On 17 December 2023, in his seventh league appearance for the club, Torres scored his first hat-trick for the club against Melbourne City at AAMI Park.[3]
On 8 April 2024, Torres' manager tweeted that he would not be renewing his contract with the Mariners for a second season, and had offers from clubs in 15 countries.[4]
Legal Issues
editLater that month, on 23 April 2024, it was revealed that Torres had been arrested by NSW Police. He was taken to Gosford Police Station where he was charged with two counts of common assault, intimidation and aggravated sexual intercourse without consent. He has since been released on bail.
Torres was stood down by the Mariners,[5][6] and is set to face court in July 2024.[7]
