On 29 May 2026, the Wellington Phoenix confirmed Supyk's contract had not been renewed for the 2026–27 season and that he would be departing the club as a result.[6]

International career

Supyk was called up to the New Zealand under-17 squad for the 2023 OFC U-17 Championship, where he finished joint-top scorer alongside Tahitian Titouan Guillemant, helping New Zealand to the title.[4][7][8] The competition served as qualification for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, and Supyk was again called up to represent the nation in the tournament.[9]

Supyk was named as part of the 21-player New Zealand U-20 squad for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup that took place in Chile from September to October 2025.[10] Supyk made two appearances in the tournament, with New Zealand exiting after the conclusion of the group stage.[11][12][13]
