It’s the only position on the pitch that you can’t play without. They are the men that stand between you and glory. They are a special, often considered crazy, breed that even have special shirts. They are goalkeepers – and it seems The Sydney F-League will have no shortage of them when the season kicks off on April 10th.

Since asking for players who are without a club to come forward, The Sydney F-League team has been inundated with resumes – from Goalkeepers. No fewer than six shot stoppers from the Premier and Super League have expressed their interest in the few hours after the story hit Futsal4All.com.au.

Shane Borg (Botany Bay Pirates), Mark Brackenrig (Inner West Allstars), Elliot Jurd (Northern Tigers), Dan Kennedy (APIA Leichhardt Tigers) and Michael Sprang (Commodores FCB) have all put their names in the frame along with Nicholas Moye (Botany Bay Pirates)

With ages ranging from sixteen to thirty-six, every applicant has representative experience playing for New South Wales at some time or another. They also share a common desire to play top level futsal all year round and test themselves against the best players that the state has to offer.

“With each club having to nominate at least two and up to three goalkeepers, we hope that we can help to provide some names for clubs who may be struggling to fill the most specialised position on the pitch” league General Manager, Paul Respicio said.

“It’s certainly encouraging to see so much interest from the goalkeeping fraternity in being a part of the League’s inaugural year. We hope any player interested in taking part in the league who doesn’t have a club, will send a playing resume to us. We may know who you are, but the clubs like to see some stats on paper and they may not know your complete history” Respicio added.
