Great thread.

I don't watch enough of the other States to really comment, but there are some great young players throughout the Queensland NPL.

One player who I thought was great a couple of years ago was Reuben Way when he played for Olympic FC. He played well in a trial game against Brisbane Roar and got a trial but nothing came of it. He ended up moving down to Heidelberg United in the VIC NPL, and as far as I know he's still there.

I haven't heard much about him lately though.

Reuben Way has just signed for Wellington Phoenix.  Great to see him get a chance.

I was going to quote the exact thing shorter! Yeah it's just so good to see that not only NPL clubs are closing in on A-League standard as you've found with the TPO rankings but also the player standard is becoming closer and closer.

Kenny Athiu (MV) - two year deal from Heidelberg United
Dylan Wenzell-Halls (BR) - one year deal from Western Pride FC
Joe Gauci (CCM) - scholarship deal from West Torrens Birkalla
Matt Millar (CCM) -  one year deal from South Melbourne FC
Jordan Murray (CCM) - one year deal from APIA Leichardt
Josh MacDonald (CCM) - one year deal from Wollongong Wolves
Kaine Sheppard (NJ) - one year deal from Avondale FC
Rashid Mahazi (WSW) - one year deal from Moreland Zebras NPL2 
Max Burgess (WEL) - one year deal from Sydney Olympic 
Reuben Way (WEL) - one year deal from Heidelberg United

Which makes it 10 NPL based players to go on to be involved with AL clubs this season. 

Brad norton best left back in the nplv defs should be on the list aswell.

Great work mate, nice list.

I can only speak on NPLV, as I don't follow the others as close, but a lot of those players you've mentioned I think will trial with A-League clubs before the start of next season.

Epifano almost certainly if he wants it, Jawadi is one who I think clubs will look at as he is still young, whilst players such as Millar, Richardson and Archibald may return to A-League clubs, I don't know if they will all go back to Melbourne City. I think Archibald was playing at Fortuna Dusseldorf in Germany before coming back, not sure if his deal with Bentleigh is a loan or permanent.

I'm very surprised Milos Lujic wasn't looked at before this A-League season. He was at Wellington for a short period but nothing come of it. Same with Andreas Govas, quality player surprised he hasn't been looked at. I hope their chances haven't gone - but I think if they're going to be looked it this off season may be their last chances.

Agree, best left back and possibly best player in the league imo.

I would keep an eye out for Jacob Eliopoulos from Port Melbourne for the U23s list, he's looked immense in the games that I've seen this year and last year at Northcote.

Sami Nour at Bulleen is killing it at the moment and I'm sure there'd be A-League clubs looking at him to figure out if he's a flash in the pan or the real deal.

He's gone to Cyprus now, apparently has a deal lined up with APOEL.

Braedyn Crowley has been a class above in the 2nd half of this season at Northcote and I'd be very surprised if Melbourne City don't sign him

Thanks heaps bud,

I'm pretty sure Archibald's deal is a permanent one, and I think Lujic could make it but he doesn't want to make the step up due to his wage being a teacher and also probably being payed as South's best player, so I reckon fair enough.

A couple of changes for the NSW NPL,
Idriss El Hafiane - 23 in May
Toufic Alameddine - 22 in June

Daniel Petkovski - 23 in June - Rockdale City Suns

Great thread by the way, so much young talent out there ready and willing to take the step up if given a chance.

Cheers for the feedback guys, just did a little more research and found out that a former Feyenoord academy player in Ryan Go is playing at Northcote, plays at left back mostly, and is only 20 years old.
Although he may not be doing to well considering where Northcote are placed on the NPLV standings.

Found Him... scored this cracker just this week...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAa1V9glOgQ

go to 4:40mins

Reuben way scored a cracker last Friday, been all over Facebook this week.

Top work on the list, would it be too much to ask to break these guys up into rough positions?

Sami Nour trialled with city last year

Nice one! :)

Good to see him still doing well.

Another Queensland player with a lot of potential who moved to the VIC NPL is Matt Thurtell.

He signed for Beentleigh Greens for the 2015 season, but unfortunately a torn ACL ruled him out for most of the season. It's only been the last couple of weeks that he's had some game time off the bench, and I look forward to him playing regularly again.

http://www.cornerflag.com.au/the-long-road-behind-for-matt-thurtell/

One to fix up that I noticed, Millar has been playing as a right winger for South rather than as a defender.

Also, for MV, I don't think Vakirtzis, Lambert or Waring are first-choice starting players although I haven't seen their last two games

Edited by Cromulent: 30/3/2016 10:09:29 AM

Thanks man,

Yeah I know that but, just because they (Vakirtzis, Waring) represented Aus at the Under 17 World cup I put them in.
And Lambert is only 16 and was smashing it in the seniors for Richmond last year in NPL 2. Cheers though!!

Another player than has made it recently at A-League level was Dylan Fox at Wellington, played at the club for 2 seasons and killed it and that form has continued. Like the Rockdale supporter said, plenty of players in NSW who could make the step up, just given time and guidance.

very Interesting with Kokado, how long has he been in Aus for?

Look out for a player called Mark Moric - the Son of Ante Moric former Socceroo.

He captains the Australian under 16 squad.

Another product of Sydney United.

He's not with us anymore unfortunately. Gone to the AIS/NTC along with Mirza Muratovic

Yeah aye, scored like 6 goals in a qualifier of some sort looks an immense talent...

Edited by ds98: 31/3/2016 10:48:18 AM

Edited by ds98: 31/3/2016 10:48:59 AM

Is that the Centre of Excellence?? heard Muratovic is quite exciting as well

Ds98,

I think he came to us last year or the year before, not too sure.

Another name to the list will be Amar Adilovic from our U18s/U20s, fantastic technical player with a bright future. Trialled in Bosnia i believe over the break.

Great thread on local up and comers well done.

As the transfer window approaches for the A-League and the current NPL transfer window, who do you guys think will be moving on from their clubs?

For some A-League teams I think these blokes are fit enough and up to the task for it. Considering Jai Ingham walked into Melbourne Victory with an assurance as well as Ryan Kitto from the NPL SA surely the gap can't be to far to cross?

New South Wales

- Could Chris Payne make a return to the Central Coast Mariners? been killing it in the NSW NPL
- Could Chris Payne and Panni Nikas be a package for the Central Coast Mariners? both working together and forming a pretty formidable partnership for Sydney United.
- Patrick Antelmi to finally get a professional contract at the mariners?

- Toufic Alameddine to the Jets or Wanderers?

Victoria

- Nick Krousoratis, Nick Epifano to Melbourne City?
- Troy Ruthven, Dusan Bosnjak to the Jets?
- Sami Nour to the Victory

Queensland NPL

- Roman Hoffman back to the Roar?



Just some pretty speculative predictions what are others that you've heard or would like to see??

Adam Parkhouse from Manly absolutely tore shreds against us (Sutherland) a couple weeks ago, only looks young but a great player albeit from the 1 game I've seen him play.

Central Coast Mariners were just playing in an exhibition match against some men.

As the team sheets suggested the following were Trialling:

-Luke Giverin from Manly (who scored 1)
- Brendan Cholakian from Manly
- Adam Parkhouse to from Manly

could potentially see those guys in the Mariners team as squaddies.

Agree, good on the ball and one v ones.
Watched him during the waratah cup final, one of manlys better performers.
Won't be surprised CCM taking him on by the look of getting a run last night, I think was a gosford local.

There's a rumour that Giverin will be signed in January, the Mariners are just waiting for Nick Montgomery to get his citizenship.

not sure if this is the place to post this (sorry if it not) i've just notices some of the overseas players moving to NPL team

Shane Cansdell-Sherriff
33 age , Australian , played 2,542 minutes last season with English League One team Burton Albion, move to NPL NSW Manly United FC

Moustapha Quaynor
20 age, Ghana, played 1,075 minutes last season with Cyprus League one team Ermis Aradippou, move to NPL VIC Pascoe Vale FC

Matt Sparrow
34 England , played 1,855 minutes last season with English National League team Lincoln City, move to NPL WA Sorrento FC

Yeah nah, all good. Surely SCS will end up at CCM's to! he wouldn't come back to Aus just to play for Manly, Would he?

it depends, it sounds like he just came back to Australia to live

Some of the Vic boys may know this, however I've just read an article on Jake Nakic and basically how his promising career was derailed by injuries.
I actually studied with him but had no idea he played the game.
He was quiet a tall lad, could anyone else eloborate on how good he was?

Seems like mvfc has had bad runs with promising strikers like Semi Sevic.

Sem to be fair was hacked down whilst playing for richmond. His knee is so fucked that he only starrted playing the game again properly last year. He was involved with mv up until the mehms era . But his younger brothers are still involved with the club as their the ball boys. Yes i know the family :lol:

You guys might think I'm crazy but there's an 18-year-old called Charles William who played for Dulwich Hill 18's last season and he was scoring a goal a game in the second half of the season in his first year of rep football. His been all over the place in 2016 from Bonnyrigg 18's to Mt Druitt 18's and now he is at Nepean FC with the first grade in State League. Short and skinny. Could have a massive future if given the right opportunities.

Edited by theFOOTBALLlover: 18/7/2016 11:27:19 PM

Update on his progress: has been signed by Parramatta for the 20's. 

Parramatta 20s/18s are generally poor, but we will see. 

He has since moved to CCM's NPL first team. 

The head of the academy Ken Schembri is very, very excited by him and has had a few assists in our first two NPL games. Hope he can eventually make the step up to the A-League.

FFA cup tonight feel free to mention any player that stands out tonight to you.

I watched Redlands play against Olympic in the Qld NPL about a month ago now, and remember thinking their #7 looked like a great player.

That player is Michael Lee and scored Redland's first goal last night against Adelaide United.  He had a good game and is one of those players who drifts all around the field looking for the ball.  Plenty of confidence and not afraid to take a player on.

Another player worth watching is Igor Sao Joes (#16 for Redlands).  He came on in extra time last night and I thought he had an immediate impact.

Davey Van't Schip - Plays in NPLV for Pascoe Vale. Son of JVS (95% sure). 9 Goals in 22 games this year. Very hard worker off the ball 
Luka Prelevic- Also plays for Pascoe Vale and was capped this year by the NZ All whites as a replacement for Smeltz. Still only 20 

Really like watching both these guys play, feel like they are playing below their level.

Some could be wrong but just a rough idea

Good to see Atilla Ofli rewarded for his simply superb season in NPL2 signing with Hume City (again) still only 22 years old so hopefully the step up a division doesn't halt his undisputed A-League potential talent.

Asmir Kadric, remember the name.

Young kid i believe 19/20, was playing NPL 2 reserves up until this season. Killed it for Bonnyriggs 20s and was rewarded with a debut in our FFA cup game against Hakoah. Has been a regular in our first grade squad since then and has managed 3 goals IIRC in the FFA Cup & 4 or 5 in the league/finals. 

Was apart of the PS4 Pathway event they got going on but pulled our with a minor injury. 
Kid stands at a decent height, good dribbling skills and for a skinny kid he is very physical, not afraid to take on defenders 2x bigger than him or go into 50-50 challenges.

Good to hear that Elvis Kamsoba, a young refugee, played for Croydon in the SANPL has moved to Melbourne Knights on the back of a breakout season only 19 or 20 very skilful, doesn't mind a backflip celebration as well :)

Teenager debuts for first-grade football team

WESTFIELD Sports High School student Luke Ivanovic debuted as one of the youngest players in the PlayStation 4 NPL NSW Men’s first-grade competition when he suited up for Bonnyrigg White Eagles recently.Ivanovic, 16, is this week’s Local Sports Star of the Year nominee

He said he was surprised when his coach told him to warm up and prepare to take the field in the second half.“I was glad to be a part of the 20s team for the rest of the year but now training and playing with first grade is an even better feeling,” Ivanovic said. The teen played against men some decades his senior, but the young forward took it all in his stride.“I felt like I was able to cope with playing at that level, but the bigger players are definitely more of a challenge,” he said

As part of the football program at his Westfield Sports High, Ivanovic has also flourished through the youth program with the White Eagles and it was only a matter of time before the striker was called to step up into first grade football.Ivanovic trains six times a week to represent both Westfield’s team and the White Eagles, and his sight is set on playing football professionally when he finishes high school at the end of 2018.“I would love to explore opportunities to play overseas, as well as play in Australia,” Ivanovic said.Ivanovic is hoping to get another run with the White Eagles when they head to Cromer Park this Sunday to take on Manly United with at 3.30pm kick-off

Young Ivanovic is only 16 years old & from reports has knocked back Sydney FC & WSW academy approaches. The kid trains 6 times a week and plays his game, now that is what you call committment & hard-work.

Another upcoming kid, when first saw him thought he was abit dopey but finally adjusted. Was in the Nike Academy from reports & has featured in most of our preseason and all league games to date.

7th goal in 9 games i believe, cant remember the last time a 18 year old done that in the NPL,

Thanks Srbin, yes I've watched the highlights of him on the NSWNPL Youtube page. Great speed, great dribbler really is one for A league clubs to snatch up

Just read that Former FNQ and Partick Thistle U20's player Ethan Docherty has joined Brisbane Strikers.

Another very interesting thing I've come across is the amount of FFA COE players leaving early to go to A-League/NPL teams
Marc Moric - Newcastle Jets NPL
Kaleb Cox - Newcastle Jets NPL
Lachlan Brook - Adelaide United NPL
Eduardo Castaneda - South Hobart TASNPL
Rahmat Akbari - Brisbane Roar NPL

These guys still had another year remaining, interesting if they had a say or not whether they could leave. The only other scenario this has happened is with Liam Rose, Kalik and Gersbach I think... but this seems like way too many, with a year still to run. Not saying this is a bad thing at all, just interesting!!!!??!!

Rhys Saunders has returned to Gold Coast City's lineup in NPLQ. Been playing in a US Uni team.
A local Gold Coast product.
Bagged 10 goals for City in 2016 in a team that contained the NPLQ Golden Boot, Ben Litfin. Litfin went on to sign for Wellington Pheonix and is now at Bentleigh.
So Saunders was somewhat overshadowed in 2016, having also missed the earlier part of the season recovering from an injury sustained in pre-season.
One of the most exciting 'raw' prospects In NPLQ since a very young Jai Ingham, when he played for Brisbane Olympic in 2013 when they won the double.
Needs to develop physically, wafer thin, but is quick, deft change of pace, strong on the ball & deadly left foot.
One to keep an eye on if he stays fit & on the park.

Yes!!! I really enjoyed seeing his highlights from last season, He was the one that went to River Plate for a year yes?

Yep that's correct

Nice

I only just found out that Springvale White Eagles have a Bosnian international play for them which is baffling for a few reasons.
-he's 28 years old and they are in NPL2.

Can anyone else elaborate on why he's playing such a low level and if he's any good?
Could be a look in for a cheap import for an A League side, you never know?

Bit of an update so far of the off- season A-:league movements to NPL clubs

Cameron Crestani - Western Pride FC NPLQLD
Harrison Sawyer - Western Pride FC  NPLQLD
Lucas Spinella - Green Gully NPLVIC
Stefan Zinni - South Melbourne NPLVIC
George Timotheou - Sydney Olympic NPLNSW
Liam Youlley - Sydney Olympic NPLNSW

Marc Marino was on the teamsheet (bench) for Campbelltown City in the SANPL today. very sad, considering everyones hopes for him!!

Similarly ex Perth Glory Keeper, Jordan Thurtell is playing for Moreton Bay in the NPLQLD. Former under age national team goalkeeper

Great to have an update on the NPL clubs where these boys end up, great job Ds98! Matthew Fletcher after he left the Mariners was playing with Manly, not sure if he's still there though as he hasn't appeared in their match day squad in a while. Riley Woodcock is playing with Sydney United 58 and Ryan Peterson who played a few games at the start of last season for the Mariners is with the Northern Tigers in NSW NPL 2. 

Cheers for the input Penguin!!

Riley Woodcock has quit football. 

That's disappointing to hear, any reason why?

Lost interest and passion is what i heard.

He was travelling quite well, scoring and assisting could've been picked up by any A-League club had he kept up, but, good luck to him whatever he does!

looks as though Mickey Neill (CCM) has joined SU58 and will replace Woodcock, also joining Neill is another former Mariner in Sam Perre, 20, who joined from Marconi, looks a real menace in the final third.
