It would be a great honour to receive the NAB Young Footballer of the Year award, so to be nominated this month is very pleasing. I have to make sure my performances improve every week and I need to keep working hard.
“I would like to nominate Miranda Magpies as my junior club. I spent a lot of my years at that club and I’m grateful for everything they’ve done and everything they continue to do for local football in the shire. It makes me happy that I can help give back to the club that I played with from ages 6-10. Big thanks to NAB.”
