Mohun Bagan Super Giant, the Indian Super League Shield winner, has strengthened its attack by signing Australian forward Jamie Maclaren from Melbourne City FC. Maclaren, known for his prolific goalscoring in Australia and Scotland, joins the Kolkata-based club as their fourth Australian signing. His arrival adds significant firepower to the NBSG attack.
Australian teen sensation Nestory Irankunda has expressed disappointment over his exclusion from the Olyroos squad for the Paris 2024 qualifiers. The 18-year-old prodigy believes he could have contributed to the team’s success, despite their failure to qualify for the Olympics. Irankunda’s impressive form for Adelaide United, where he became the youngest player to score a hat-trick, highlights his potential for both club and country. While he initially expressed a desire to join the Olyroos, Irankunda ultimately declined the approach due to concerns over its impact on his development. Despite the setback, Irankunda remains ambitious about representing Australia at the senior level, aspiring to make history with the Socceroos.
