Canberra footballer wins Nike Professional Contract - still no pathway in the Capital

FourFourTwo are reporting

ACT starlet Tom Rogic said he was stunned and elated after winning one of eight professional contracts at the Nike Academy in England announced in London on Saturday night.

First Chris Bush gets an A-League contract with the Brisbane Roar - now Tom Rogic scores an amazing contract, one of eight, and he was up against the Rest of the World!

What makes it more amazing is Tom is from Canberra - a city without a Professional Football team, a Professional Youth set-up and only a part-time local football competition.
