     Development Teams

Keith GISBORNE
Utility

Keith has played in a variety of positions and his aggression and tenacity makes him versatile and valuable. His aggression was at its best when he almost had a confrontation with a league player during a scratch match during a scratch match.

Mark JORDAN
Left midfield/Striker

Mark is relatively new to football but has a good left foot and will score his share of spectacular goals. He is also strong in the air and very keen to improve and progress.

Destiny GARTNER
Utility

Destiny has played every position barr goal keeper in his short time at Phoenix. He uses the ball well and his large frame is important. At only 15, he looks to have a big future in the game and has been identified by Football West

Tony GOODWIN
Goalkeeper

See Youth squad

Andrew REALE
Central Midfield

Andrew has been in state set ups and made his league debut in the pre season. He has a phenominal work rate and covers every inch of the ground every week. Has a good attitude and should be a regular of the league squad in the coming seasons.

Paul SPAGNOLO
Attacking midfield

Probably one of the most naturally gifted players in the region, Paul could be a dominant player in the south west if coached and disciplined correctly. Has all the skills in the book, but needs to put them into a team environment. If he does, he could be a massive asset.

Tom KOWALCZYK
Right midfield/forward

Tomasz wants to be a winger but his future could be up front, where he has scored two hat tricks this season, including one against Dianella. His blistering speed makes it hard for any defence to contain him, and his pace could be valuable at any level of the game.

Jesse FULLER
Centre midfield

Jesse was in the State team last year and is a self confessed soccer-holic. His desire to improve and learn is immense, but his test will be putting his small frame against experienced fully grown men. Big long term prospect.

Joseph PARISELLA
Utility

Joseph has played all over the park so far, and gives everything regardless of where he plays. He has a deceptively good shot and his tenacity is a major strength.

David GOODFELLOW
Midfield/goalkeeper

David was originally identified as a quality goal keeper, but has a value on the pitch. His work rate and aggression makes him valuable, and played very well as a defensive midfielder early in the season.

Douglas WILDE
Left back

Douglas is keen to learn and trains well. He has not been guided throughout his career thus far, but will improve this season as he receives good coaching and has the desire to learn.

Aaron ROBBINS
Utility

Aaron was the leading scorer in country week last season, but likes to play as a defensive midfielder. He is also comfortable in defence and made his debut there against Ashfield. Looks like a good prospect to solve Phoenix defensive woes in the league squad. 

Luke UTTERSON
Defence

Luke has impressed in the first two matches as a man marker with good aggression and tackling against more experienced opponents. He also looks likely to be part of a new look defence in the future.

Drasko JANKOVIC
Midfeild/attack

Jankovic was leading scorer in last seasons youth team, but can also play in midfield due to good endurance. In 2004, he clocked well over 14 in the "Shuttle Test" in pre season. Has a keen eye for goals.

Michael NINNESS
Left midfield/Forward

Michael works extremely hard and has created goals through his hard running and chasing already. Has a good shot and good body size which will help him progress in future.

Wade COMITO

Utility

Comito has been in the semi professional set up for a few years and is very gifted. Former cross country running champion. Uses the ball well and gives heart, making him a possible league regular if he can apply himself wholehartedly.

Jarred LOCKHART
Central midfield

Jarred played Phoenix youth last year and is taking the step up this year. Improved a lot last season and is very coachable. Despite his slender frame, he put in some crunching tackles last season. He has worked hard in the off season however, and put on some weight to bulk himself up.

Pavel SOKOLOV
Midfield/Attack

Pavel is the most senior player in the squad. Likes to play as an attacker or winger. Works hard and has a good shot from range. He also trains well and is very reliable.
