Ramy Najjarine (Arabic: رامي نجارين, .mw-parser-output .IPA-label-small{font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output .references .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .infobox .IPA-label-small,.mw-parser-output .navbox .IPA-label-small{font-size:100%}pronounced [ˈraːmi nædʒˈʒaːriːn]; born 23 April 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for A-League Men club Wellington Phoenix. Born in Australia, he plays for the Lebanon national team.
Najjarine began his youth career with Mounties Wanderers, before joining the Football NSW Institute, playing in the U16 NPL 1 NSW in 2014. In 2015, he entered the Western Sydney Wanderers's National Youth League squad as a train-on player. The following year, after scoring three goals in four matches for the club's under-20 side in the 2016 NPL 2 NSW, he was promoted to the first team.
On 18 July 2017, Najjarine signed his first professional contract with Melbourne City, a three-year scholarship deal. He made his A-League debut in November 2018 as a substitute in a 2–0 loss to Brisbane Roar in Round 5 of the 2018–19 season. Later that season, he scored his first league goal in a 5–0 victory against Central Coast Mariners in Round 27. He finished his first professional season with one goal in 13 appearances for City.
On 17 October 2019, his contract was extended until the end of the 2021–22 season. He made nine appearances during the 2019–20 season. In October 2020, he joined Newcastle Jets on loan for the 2020–21 campaign, making 15 appearances.
Najjarine rejoined Western Sydney Wanderers on 30 June 2021, having previously played in their academy system. He scored his first senior goal for the club on 16 March 2022 in a 2–1 away win against Adelaide United.
He made 33 appearances and scored three goals before departing the club by mutual agreement on 7 February 2023, midway through the 2022–23 season.
On the same day his departure from Western Sydney was confirmed, Najjarine was announced as a new signing for Western United. Across two seasons with the club, he made 33 appearances, scoring once and contributing three assists. He left the club on 4 July 2025 following the expiration of his contract.
Najjarine playing for the Wellington Phoenix in 2025.
On 15 September 2025, deadline day, Wellington Phoenix signed Najjarine on a one-year contract. Najjarine made his club debut for the Phoenix on 18 October 2025, in a 2–2 draw away to Perth Glory.
Najjarine represented Australia at under-16, under-18, and under-23 levels, and was part of the Olyroos squad that won bronze at the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship.
Eligible to represent Lebanon through his heritage, he received his first senior call-up to the Lebanon national team from coach Miodrag Radulović ahead of an unofficial friendly against Qatar on 26 August, where he assisted Khoder Kaddour's decisive goal in a 1–0 victory. He went on to make his official debut on 8 September 2025, in a 0–0 friendly draw against Indonesia. However, he had yet to receive FIFA clearance to participate in Lebanon's 2027 Asian Cup qualification matches against Bhutan the following month, despite having regained his Lebanese citizenship and submitted the required documents.
Najjarine was born in Liverpool, New South Wales, Australia. He is of Lebanese descent, and has a younger brother, Zane, who is also a footballer.
