Biography

Qantas Socceroos
Brilliant shot-stopper who also commands his penalty area with supreme confidence. Has arguably been the most consistent and and many will say best keeper to play in Australia in the last decade. His record in Australia speaks for itself, having played in five grand finals, winning three including the inaugural Grand Final of the Hyundai A-League with Sydney FC, where he typically kept a clean sheet.

Has had limited opportunities to prove himself with the Qantas Socceroos, given Australia's abundance of terrific goalkeepers that have plied their trade overseas in the big European Leagues. However in his only appearances for the national team so far, has managed to keep a clean sheet on each occasion.
