Sydney FC’s double-winning Captain Natalie Tobin and Slovakian international Robert Mak have taken out the Player of the Year Awards at Sydney FC’s prestigious Sky Blue Ball. Centre-half Tobin became only the second Sky Blues skipper to lift both the Premiership and Championship in the same season as the Sky Blues Women secured a record breaking fifth Liberty A-League Premiership and record equalling fourth Championship. Mak capped a stellar first season at the club notching ten goals and two assists in 27 appearances.
Sydney FC goalkeeper Tom Heward-Belle is to leave the club after six years in search of more first team action. The 26-year old shot stopper has been with the Sky Blues for six seasons having joined from the Central Coast Mariners in 2017.
Sydney FC Captain Alex Wilkinson will hit another major milestone in the Sky Blues semi-final, second leg clash with Melbourne City at AAMI Park. The defender is already Australia’s most decorated footballer with five A-League Premierships, three A-League Championships, two K-League titles as well as an FFA Cup and Asian Cup winners medal. On Friday he will become the first player in A-League history to play in 30 Finals Series matches.
Sydney FC Championship and Premiership double winner Alex Baumjohann is returning to the Sky Blues in a newly created Head of Player Management position.
