The 12-year-old from Tenambit has been selected in an Australian under-13 futsal squad to tour Spain in November.
He was picked following strong outings for Northern NSW at the national junior futsal championships held in Sydney earlier in the year.
This followed record breaking athletics performances at state level for both the 800 and 1500 metre events in the 12 years boys’ age group.
More recently the Newcastle under-13 representative took part in the Football Federation Australia National Championships at Coffs Harbour as part of the Northern NSW squad.
July junior nominee: Joey O'Connor
