First pro contract for young Luka Coveny.

Two more @WUFC_Academy stars are locked in 💪

Luka Coveny and Dylan Leonard have each signed their first professional contracts, committing to the Green and Black for two seasons 👊

Congratulations to you both, lads 💚🖤

Signed for the next two seasons - Definitely had a feeling this was coming.

Well done to the lad. 👏

Dumb question, but any relation to Vaughan Coveny? If so, has the youngster got a preference to the NZ or Australia national team?

Yeah he’s Vaughan’s son. He played for us at the U17 World Cup so seems like his allegiances lie with NZ for now.

And a first team debut late on in the piece as well albeit in their 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Newcastle.
