Bozinovski gets young Socceroos call up

A massive 12 months for Western United’s Rhys Bozinovski has continued after being named in the Young Socceroos squad.

The 18-year-old was called up to the squad for the first time for a three-day camp in early August and has been rewarded with another selection, this time as part of the squad that will play in the Four Continents Tournament later this month.

The squad will play matches against Morocco, Chile and England.

Western United football general manager Mal Impiombato said successive call-ups was worthy recognition of Bozinovski’s continued development.

“On the back of his initial call-up to the Young Socceroos last month, we are delighted that Rhys now has an opportunity to take part in a series of matches with the team,” he said.

“Rhys has achieved a lot in a short amount of time in his career and it is a testament to his maturity and work ethic that he continues to enhance his development.

“We wish Rhys all the very best in Spain and look forward to seeing him wearing the Green and Gold.”

Bozinovski has risen through the ranks at United, beginning with the under-21s, before transitioning into the under-23s and signing his first scholarship contract within a matter of months.

He made his A-League debut with United in the final regular season game of the last A-League season. Bozinovski made a further three appearances in the finals, including in the grand final against Melbourne City.

He was been a regular starter through United’s pre-season for the upcoming season.
