Culina is currently without a club, after he was sacked by the [[Newcastle United Jets FC|Newcastle Jets]], a few days after the sacking of his father [[Branko Čulina]]. == Club career == [[File:Culina.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Culina at a training session with PSV]] Culina started off with [[Sydney United]] under his father, Branko, before moving on to [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] where he struggled in the reserves. Only after moving to [[FC Twente]] did Culina begin to shine at the top level in club football. This was proved by his moving to another top Dutch club, [[PSV Eindhoven]]. Whilst originally an attack minded midfielder with Twente, at PSV Culina played more in a disciplined defensive role for the club with immediate success. In his final year at PSV, Culina was mainly deployed at Right Back with further success thus attributing to Culina's versatility and utility value. On 9 January 2009 Culina announced his intention to return to Australia after turning down a contract extension from PSV as he sought a new challenge and a fresh start in Australia. <blockquote>"I want to make a fresh start and I am ready for a new challenge. I am the first international who returns to Australia and I am keen to promote the national competition and raise the standard."<ref>[http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,8659,24897120-23215,00.html Socceroo Jason Culina officially accepts Gold Coast deal]</ref></blockquote> On 14 January 2009 he was signed by [[Gold Coast United]] on a three year deal becoming the club's first marquee player.<ref>[http://www.goldcoastunited.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=26083 Socceroo Jason Culina signs as Gold Coast United’s marquee]</ref><ref>[http://www.goldcoastunited.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=26085 Bleiberg: Ambition was the key to Culina signature]</ref><ref>[http://www.goldcoastunited.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=26086 Right time, right club]</ref> On 1 July 2009 he made his Gold Coast debut in a friendly in [[Singapore]] against a Singapore Olympic Selection, coming on as a substitute for [[Steve Pantelidis]] and scoring in the 88th minute from 25 yards out.<ref>[http://www.goldcoastunited.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=27999 Debut goal for Culina in 4-0 win for United]</ref> On 22 February 2011 it was revealed Culina would join his father [[Branko Culina]] at the [[Newcastle Jets]].<ref>[http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/football-soccer/jason-culina-signs-with-newcastle-jets/2083922.aspx Jason Culina signs with Newcastle Jets]</ref> Culina is currently injured and it has been reported that he will miss the 2011/2012 season.<ref>http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/football-soccer/my-call-on-jason-culina-says-ray-baartz/2292342.aspx</ref> Culina was also sensationally sacked from his role, only days after his father - who was also his coach at the [[Newcastle Jets]] - was sacked. <ref>http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/a-league-season-preview-with-simon-hill-wellington-phoenix-will-struggle-at-the-bottom/story-e6frf4gl-1226143671057</ref> == International career == [[File:Jason Culina.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Culina playing for the Socceroos]] Culina made his debut for the Australian national team against [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] in 2005.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/news/Soccer/Culina-poised-for-Socceroo-callup/2005/01/27/1106415730748.html Culina poised for Socceroo call-up]</ref> He became a regular starter in the ''Socceroos'' matches under coach [[Guus Hiddink]], who was also his club coach at PSV Eindhoven.<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/news/football/hiddink-keeps-culina-out-of-firing-line/2005/10/31/1130720482640.html Hiddink keeps Culina out of firing line]</ref><ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccerfeatures/young-socceroo-takes-slow-boat-to-success/2005/11/12/1131578275408.html Young Socceroo takes slow boat to success]</ref> His first international goal came in September 2005, against the [[Solomon Islands national football team|Solomon Islands]] in Sydney.<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/news/football/hiddink-era-starts-in-style-for-socceroos/2005/09/03/1125302782074.html Hiddink era starts in style for Socceroos]</ref> Culina played in both legs of the [[Football World Cup 2006 - Oceania-South America Qualification Playoff|World Cup play-off]] against [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] where Australia qualified for the [[Football World Cup 2006|2006 World Cup]], following a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
