Former Centrals Soccer Club best and fairest winner, Thomas Renzi has made his South Australian Super League debut.
Renzi, who will turn 20 later this month, started as a substitute in Adelaide Galaxy’s recent pre-season cup match against Adelaide Cobras.
Assistant First Grade coach Mike Purkiss said Renzi came on at the 20 minute mark when Galaxy were trailing 0 – 1 and was instrumental in helping the team to a 2 – 1 win.
“He is a good lad and has a good work ethic for football,” Purkiss said of Renzi.
“He admitted the change of pace was something he was still getting used to and although he is no certainty to be included in our senior team for when the season proper starts in late March, games in the two pre-season cups that Galaxy are involved in will do him the world of good in terms of experience.”
Galaxy were to play Blue Eagles in last night’s midweek cup and Renzi was included in the senior squad.
“Thomas has a good feel for the game and our coaching staff have been watching him closely in training and in reserve grade matches,” Purkiss said.
“He may not yet be quite right for seniors, in fact he still has a lot to do and could struggle if we throw him in the deep end too early, but some game time here and then will be good for him.”
In the SASL, Adelaide Galaxy compete against a variety of teams, including Campbelltown, MetroStars, Raiders, Blue Eagles, Adelaide City, Para Hills, Western Strikers, Adelaide Hills and Modbury.
The Galaxy were originally known as West Torrens Birkalla, established in 1923 and has a long and proud tradition.
The club is comprised of the former Birkalla Rovers and West Torrens which merged to form West Torrens Birkalla.
In 2002, the club was renamed Adelaide Galaxy FC.
In 2005, Adelaide Galaxy won the State League for the second time in its history and was promoted to the then newly restructured Super League under the jurisdiction of the Football Federation of South Australia.
