NAB Young Footballer of the Year – September nominee
Mathew Leckie from Adelaide United was voted as the most outstanding U/21 player for the month of September.
Determined by a panel of experts the NAB Young Footballer of the Year – September nominee, Mathew Leckie, was judged on his performance over weeks 5-8 of the Hyundai A-League 2010/11 season.
Mathew Leckie is the second nominated player to be announced, following North Queensland Fury-s Chris Payne receiving the nod for his August efforts, and will be joined in future weeks by five more U/21 players to qualify to be named the NAB Young Footballer of the Year at the Hyundai A-League Awards.
