 I've always lived out this way in footballs, it's a big part of kids lives around here and everyone likes football. It's a real honour to play in A-League for Western City. I played for Carlingford Redbacks for about four or five years and yeah that's where I first started. My mum told me that I came in from school one day and just said I wanted to play football. Yeah that's the reason. My family's, I haven't got a footballing background or anything. Rugby league and stuff like that so yeah. When I was a kid I always had a dream to go and play overseas and well when I was 16 I moved to England to play at Bolton Wonders. That was my first little contract so yeah that was a great experience. I was a top club in England so it was very professional so I was around top quality players and the facilities and everything was unreal so it was a great place to learn the game. I was at Bolton for four years and then I decided that I needed to play first team football so I went to Scotland, St. Moon, was there for two seasons, played a fair bit of first team football so that was good for my development. It was a great experience and I really enjoyed it. They're all nuts for the football over there, that's all they're talking about so it's a lot different to Australia. The paper is the back page that hotens all football to sport whereas here's a couple pages so it's like live or die over there so everyone's into that football so that was great. Well I was still contracted to St. Miriam at the time and everyone was talking about the Wonders so I told my agent because I wanted to come back to Australia and try and play regularly more and so I wasn't really enjoying it that much at St Miriam at the time so my agent looked into it and then set up a meeting for me to meet Papa and yeah I spoke to him and he sold me straight away, the way he talked about what he wanted to do and the way he wanted to bring the team, build the team up and his thoughts on the game so yeah I was I was input straight away and yeah that's how it came out. Yeah it was unreal, we didn't start off that well but we stuck to what the team believes in and that paid off throughout the season and ended up winning the Premier's play which was unbelievable in the first year so yeah it was hard to describe how I feel about it but I'm very proud. There's obviously a lot more pressure on us this year because we won the league last year so everyone's expecting us to do it again. We are as well so yeah we're just gonna stick to what we've been doing throughout the last two seasons and hopefully that works again. Every player wants to push himself to maximum level they can. The level I'm at now is the A-League and that's where my head's at so I'm gonna just try and play as well as I can and see where that takes me. If it means maybe in the future that I go overseas and yeah that would be unreal.
