 I came on board at the start of this season with the NYL squad. The pride of the Wanderers was playing at the Sydney Olympic under 20s. And at that stage I didn't really know where the next step would be after playing in the Premier League. So to get the opportunity from Krookey to come to the Wanderers was a massive step up and one that I'm extremely grateful for. At the start I was a bit nervous about the whole set up and being at the Wanderers and being at such a big club in Australia so to even be part of it was amazing. And then as a six months I progressed the coaching staff really helped me improve my game and improve me as a person so the rise to being a first team footballer was made easier by the coaches because they helped me out so much and my teammates as well. Obviously with not only Maddie but also Nikolai and Brendan Hamill at the club really helped my development as a player. And seeing Maddie go on and win the Asian Cup and play for the national team and doing very well there it sort of opens your eyes to realise that if you can work as hard and be as dedicated as he is then anything's possible. When I joined the Wanderers I saw how we were progressing to the Champions League and saw how much pride and passion the fans had for the club so I knew if I could play for the first team one day then I could display that passion as well and it gives the fans something to really cheer about because they show so much support even when we lose and to play for those people was just amazing and to put on the red and black shirt to be representing the whole of Western Sydney was something that I'll never forget. Leading up I was pretty nervous to be honest I'd never felt something like that before but the boys were really supportive and they really tried to calm me down and just said play your own, play a game and play to your strength and play what got you here and that really felt much better and when I got out there I sort of had to fill my way into the game but once I did I sort of knew that it felt right and I felt comfortable around the boys. For the team we obviously wanted to try and be in the finals and close to the top of the table as much as possible and try and get back into the Asian Champions League following season. Personally it's just about improving and learning off mentors such as Maddie and Nikolai and Brendan Hamill and learning off them every day and trying to emulate what they're doing and for me to just improve every day as a person on and off the pitch and that way I can get better and that way I can play games and games is just a bonus for me but improving at training is the most important thing for me.
