Early life


Baccus was born in Durban, South Africa but moved to Australia before his first birthday where his family settled in western Sydney.[2] Baccus attended Kings Langley Public School where he was inspired by Socceroo Mark Schwarzer to participate in the sport.[3][4] He is the younger brother of Macarthur Bulls player Kearyn Baccus.[5]


Club career



Western Sydney Wanderers


After rising from the Wanderers Academy to serve as co-captain of the youth team, Baccus signed a two-year senior contract in May 2017.[6]


St Mirren


In April 2022, St. Mirren boss Stephen Robinson announced that Baccus was joining the Scottish Premiership club following the conclusion of the 2022 A League campaign.[7] A few months later, the signing was confirmed by the club as a two-year deal.[8]


International career


Baccus qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as part of the Australia under-23 team. The team beat Argentina in their first group match but were unable to win another match. They were therefore not in medal contention.[9]

In September 2022, Baccus debuted for the senior team as a second-half subsitute in a friendly against New Zealand.[10] On 8 November 2022, Baccus was named in Australia's World Cup squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[11]
