There's a really cool photo of the 11 Nix academy products (players) who featured or were on the bench today. It's on the A League website game report. Amazing to have 11, what a credit to the club. Link.
Today's squad featured 1⃣1⃣ @WgtnPhoenixAcad graduates, with 7⃣ of those getting minutes in RD 1⃣2⃣'s 0⃣-0⃣ draw with the Mariners 👏

Superb stuff.
Steve Coleman has done some fantastic work for this club. A big loss, but the future remains bright with the young talent coming through.
Only two lads in that photo that aren't signed beyond this season as well (at least yet) - Gillion & Sloane-Rodrigues.
