The dream continues for Jordan Bos with the former Point Cook local headed overseas to continue his soccer dream.
Melbourne City last week announced that Bos was moving to join Belgian Pro League side KVC Westerlo in what is a record Australian transfer
Melbourne City football director Michael Petrillo said that it was immediately evident that Bos has what it takes to perform at the highest level:
“Born and raised in Melbourne, Jordan is a product of our City Youth Academy where he developed his game with the help of our talented coaches and support staff,” he said.
“His natural abilities were evident from the outset, and it has been a privilege to see him grow into the elite player he is today.
“We are incredibly proud of Jordan and his achievements at the club. His development as a player and as a person is testament to the quality of our academy program and we are excited to see him take on his next challenge.”
The move to KVC Westerlo marks a significant milestone for Bos, who at just 20 years of age has claimed three A-League Men’s premierships and a championship with City in 50 appearances for the club.
City chief executive Brad Rowse said they’re incredibly proud of our track record in developing young Australian talent.
“The transfer fee for Jordan is a record for any Australian club and is a testament to his talent and to the strength of our academy program,” he said.
“I have known Jordan since he first joined the club as a 13-year-old, and I am thrilled to see him take this exciting step in his career.”
It caps off a big year for Bos, who made his Socceroos debut in March.
Speaking to Star Weekly before making his debut, Bos said he was keen to head overseas to ply his trade.
