MiniRoos score a goal with Mebrahtu

Excited AIA Vitality MiniRoos youngsters at Valentine Sports Park were treated to a special guest in Western Sydney Wanderers’ Golgol Mebrahtu on a rainy spring afternoon on Tuesday 3rd of November.
Mebrahtu’s appearance provided the participants with an opportunity to chat to the Wanderers star in what it takes to becoming a professional footballer amongst other interesting questions.
The high flyer from Tony Popovic’s camp, who has returned to the pitch from injury, provided coaching tips and gave expert instructions during training drills much to the excitement of the youngsters on show.
