Delighted for Mitch. Only 8 months ago, we sat down for mentoring meetings ahead of his first full 18s season. His professionalism & work ethic were ready-made; his rapid rise speaks to this. His example is one the Academy staff use very often with younger players. Congrats mate!

Congratulations to Mitch Glasson and Margaux Chauvet for making their Sydney FC A-Leagues' debut this weekend 👏

Whilst at Endeavour Sports High Antonio showed this potential, and was 1 of 8 to sign with pro European clubs (Academy/1st team) in a 12-month span. Our staff and his ESHS 2009 classmates are very proud of him. It is a very strong & close group - we have high hopes for them all.

Antonio Arena (2009) scored on debut for Pescara in Serie C on the weekend. He became the first 2009-born player to either debut or score in professional Italian football.

Arena, who signed for Pescara from WSW, has represented the Joeys, but recently debuted for Italy U16.

Year 7 2025 Endeavour Sports High trials are coming up. We offer sessions integrated into the school timetable run by Sydney FC coaches. Our kids are some of the most talented players in Sydney, and get access to our SFC scouting network and a fantastic education. See you there!

[Liam Fitz-Gerald @LiamFitz_]

What an example for our kids at Endeavour. Hayden and Jake were at ESHS and SFC for 6 years & represented themselves, the school & the club very well recently at our ESHS Open Night. Hayden continues to do great work mentoring ESHS players as one of our staff. Keep going, boys!

Schoolmates. U14 futsal teammates. Now, @SydneyFC's centre-back pairing, aged just 19.

Jake Girdwood-Reich and Hayden Matthews are living the dream together 💙

[Liam Fitz-Gerald @LiamFitz_]

Proud of Academy product and Endeavour Sports High graduate, Hayden Matthews. He faced many injury setbacks as a young player and this is a testament to his character. Pictured, SFC/ESHS alumni Jake Girdwood-Reich is another fantastic example for our kids at the school and club.

@alexhconrad @henrywinter @PhilMoss_13 @gazzagazzagc @FOXFOOTBALL Cheers Conny! Great to chat mate 👍

[Liam Fitz-Gerald @LiamFitz_]

Pleasure chatting with @alexhconrad for Fox Sports regarding coaching in Australia and abroad.

[Alex Conrad @alexhconrad]

Just over a month ago, @henrywinter said Aussie coaches were "in vogue".

So I figured I'd chat to @PhilMoss_13, @gazzagazzagc and @LiamFitz_ to find out how that came to be and what it means for the next gen of Australian coaches 🇦🇺

@Nsusko Thanks, Nick - I know players and staff alike at Endeavour feel very connected to the club.

[Liam Fitz-Gerald @LiamFitz_]

Fortunate to be responsible for these boys’ development at ESHS, and delighted that they could make history for the school. Great to see 8 on show this weekend having made the GF for their clubs, with plenty there supporting their mates. Well done, boys!
