Leo and Tatum have had impressive starts to 2026 with their new teams, Caroline Springs George Cross (NPL VIC) and Brisbane City (NPLW QLD), with multiple goal involvements.

Special thanks to Pete, Gess and Caelee Mazis for the footage and ball collection!

It was great catching up with Atiya this past week after an incredible 2024, where he scored 14 goals for the men’s NPL champions, Canberra Croatia FC, was invited to train with several A-League clubs and was also named in the U18 Australian Schoolboys team to tour the UK.

Atiya has started 2025 at full pace, signing a youth contract with A-League club Macarthur FC and being invited to a recent Young Socceroos training camp.

We wish Atiya continued success and look forward to seeing what else he achieves in 2025.
