The following season Dega again played a major part in the success of the club and also scored one only two of the goals he would score with the club with a 30-yard drive at a home match in front of 'The Shed'. He went on to play 28 times for the Glory in that season but the side was knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. In his third season with the club Dega played 26 matches and was part of the Glory side that dominated the domestic season again but fell in the 2002 NSL Grand Final 1–0 to the Olympic Sharks.
