Biography

Qantas Socceroos
Powerful, hard running striker, who played a major role in Melbourne Victory's successful tilt in winning the Hyundai A-League Championship in season 2006-07. After enjoying considerable success in the lower leagues of England, he was persuaded to come home to Australia and form a striking partnership with Archie Thompson. However the goals didn't flow in the first season, but that all changed in the second season, as he finished with the Hyundai A-League's Leading Goalscorer Award and was second in the Player Of the Year Award. As an under 17 international with Australia, won the Golden Boot Award at the 1995 FIFA Under 17 World Championship.
Qantas Joeys
Finished the U-17 World Championship in Ecuador with the Golden Boot Award for the leading goalscorer - 5 goals.
