A Sunshine Auskicker has made his way under the bright lights of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), named as the most recent AFL Auskick recruit for 2023.
Die-hard Richmond fan, and local Sunshine star, Jospin is the 19th Auskicker to join the team.
Jospin and his chosen nominee – Auskick teammate Tyson, are now set to join the other 2023 recruits for a once-in-a-lifetime grand final experience that will stay with them forever, including presenting the winning grand final team their premiership medals.
First falling in love with football at age three, Jospin has been obsessed with AFL ever since, kicking the football with his friends at school, playing in his backyard and practising his skills on the weekend.
“My favourite thing about playing football is I get to kick some goals and have fun with my friends,” he said.
Jospin’s favourite thing is his beloved Tiger’s jumper which has been signed by some of the game’s biggest stars including Daniel Rioli and Noah Cumberland.
Jospin is training hard to one day become a football player just like his Richmond heroes. He said this whole experience has been a “dream come true” for him.
“Playing halftime Auskick at the MCG and being interviewed by Hamish McLachlan was a very exciting experience for me … The most wonderful day yet,” he said.
