Melbourne Heart FC National Youth League (NYL) Head Coach John Aloisi has unveiled his squad of future stars as the Club announced Park Trent as the team-s inaugural sponsor.
Following a nationwide search, involving trials for nearly 500 local players, the announcement of the NYL squad marks a major milestone in Melbourne Heart FC history, heralding a new era for the Red and White as it lays the foundation of a crucial development pathway.
With players hailing from regions such as Tasmania, Albury Wodonga, Ballarat and Bendigo in the squad, Heart-s youth side provides a genuine representation of the emerging talent of Australia-s Southern states, providing an affirmation of the Club-s commitment to developing youth.
And given the squad has been built on the basis of Melbourne Heart FC-s preferred football philosophy, developed upon Head Coach John van ‘t Schip-s two decades of experience at Ajax, the NYL side is set to be key contributor of talent to the first team in the years to come.
NYL Head Coach John Aloisi said Thursday-s announcement marked the culmination of a significant and extensive search for the best talent Victoria and Tasmania have to offer.
“After 10 months of searching, local trials, watching matches at state level along with our (Head Coach) John van ‘t Schip, (Assistant Coach) Ante Milicic and (General Manager, Football) John Didulica, it-s exciting to finally have a squad together. We are really looking forward to it,” he said.
“While we now have the talent in place, the challenge is now to further assist in the development of these young players and assist in their transition from promising youngsters into potential future first team contributors.”
