Western United and St Monica’s College have extended their partnership, give students access to the club, players and officials.
Under the partnership, students will have the opportunity to train with Western United players, and will have access to Connor Pain, one of United’s more experienced players, and emerging player Jake Najdovski.
St Monica’s College said further benefits, including enhanced game day experiences, will be available to families.
The school’s director of football Mark Torcaso is also the inaugural coach of United’s A-League Women’s team.
Principal Brian Hanley welcomed the extension of the partnership.
“We are very excited to facilitate our Northern Football Academy students having this special access to the reigning A-League Men’s champion,” he said.
“We are proud to be associated with Western United Football Club and welcome them into our college.”
