The Sydney Football Club are working with police and Football Federation Australia to find the two men who attacked midfielder Robbie Middleby.

The 34 year old was allegedly assaulted by two supporters in the carpark after Sydney's 1-0 A-League win over the Wellington Phoenix at the Sydney Football Stadium.

Middleby says one of his attackers jumped out from behind a car and shouted abuse about his decision to leave the club to join the North Quuensland Fury next season.
