Wollongong recruit Brandalise
Brandalise made a huge name for himself last year, with his man-of-the-match performance against Sydney Olympic in the Tiger Turf Cup semi-final, and was a perfect fit for the newly formed South Coast club that rose from the ashes of the Wollongong Wolves, who are looking to blend quality youth with experience.
?I am very happy to have secured my future, and to be at a TeleChoice Premier League club,? said the young stopper, who may have sealed the deal with a first-class penalty save in last weekend?s trial against Rockdale.
?Players like Balla Conde and Ilija Prenzoski have been a great inspiration, and everyone at the club has a unified purpose. It?s a great place to be,? added Brandalise.
Brandalise, who works as a marketing executive for leading law firm Brydens, is a prodigy of Jim Fraser, arguably Australia?s best keeper coach, and the Socceroo great was more than happy to recommend the former NSW representative to the his new club.
?Club training and Jimmy?s sessions take up four to five nights a week, so it?s almost like training full time,? said Brandalise.
?It just gives me more opportunities to work on my game, and what happens on the weekend is hopefully a quality by-product. As for overseas ? it?s one step at a time for me,? he added.
