Victory locks in full-time youth players

Melbourne Victory is pleased to announce its full-time youth players for the 2019/20 season.

The players selected will train with the club full-time alongside a further 24 players who will train amongst school commitments.

The squad features four players who regularly train with the Hyundai A-League squad – Jay Barnett, Brandon Lauton, Anthony Lesiotis and Matthew Sutton – as well as A-League contracted midfielder Birkan Kirdar.

Thirteen players have retained their places from last season’s squad while five have been promoted from the Melbourne Victory Academy pool – Robson Deme, Nicholas Hamakiotis, James Paneras, Nishan Velupillay and William Wilson.

Additionally, five players join Victory from other A-League clubs with Jay Barnett and Lleyton Brooks (Brisbane Roar), Luis Lawrie-Lattanzio (Adelaide United) as well as Dalibor Markovic and Joshua Varga (Melbourne City) all converting to the navy blue.

Victory congratulates all full-time players on their selections.
