 My name is Lante Marana. I was born in Campbelltown. I played down here, played for Mounties and played for MacArthur rims for a bit. Then I moved up to Queensland when I was around 12 years old. I played up there for a bit. I managed to work my way into the Brisbane Royal Under 18s youth team and then had an opportunity to go overseas. I went over to Blackburn Rovers, came back here, was playing for a bit, rehabbed up because I was injured at the time. Then I went over to Portugal. I was over there for about two years at a club called FC Vizela. I learnt a lot from those experiences as well. Then I found myself back in Australia, back at Brisbane playing in the youth team and then now I'm here. It was something special really when I had the opportunity to come in to the Wanderers set up. It was like you said it was like coming full circle again, sort of coming back to my grassroots. All my families from here had a different feeling that I never had at any other club before. So it was really a really good environment to come into. Everyone was really welcoming and friendly and it kind of reminded me back of how it was when I was playing football. It was just everyone just wants to play. Everyone wants to push themselves to get better and it's a really good environment just to be in. I think the MPL down in Sydney for me as a number nine it's very competitive. You never play the same game twice. Compared to the NYL I think it's a lot more physical. It's a lot quicker as well. You're playing against experienced players you know with Lubby and Patrick as well coming in. They've really brought a bit of a breath of fresh air sort of thing. It's something different to what we've had. They encourage you to take risks, sort of be brave and back yourself a bit more as well. Especially Lubby as well. He's always been in my back yourself turn and shoot turn and shoot and he's really really been encouraging. It's always good to have someone like that backing you and showing that they believe in you. When you've got so many like-minded people in and around a squad that are wanting to push each other, wanting the best out of each other just so that they can get to the next level. It's a recipe, it's not a matter of how, it's a matter of when because everyone's working and everyone's putting in the work that they need to.
