Western Sydney Wanderers FC are proud to announce the promotion of Daniel Wilmering from the Wanderers Academy on a two-year scholarship contract.
The incredible rise of Daniel Wilmering has continued, with the young defender signing a two-year Hyundai A-League scholarship contract with Western Sydney Wanderers.
Wilmering has famously graduated from being a ball boy at the Wanderers’ first-ever Hyundai A-League match to making his senior debut against Wellington Phoenix in Round 22 of the recent 2018/19 Season.
He initially joined the Wanderers Academy in 2016 and has since played an integral role in the club’s National Premier League 2 and Foxtel Y-League squads.
Now the 18-year-old has taken the next step by signing a scholarship deal alongside fellow youngsters Tate Russell, Nick Suman and Fabian Monge.
