Olyroos Podcast: Lachie Wales' rise from the beach to the big smoke

Welcome to the Olyroos Podcast, where we take football fans
inside camp in Japan to help you get to know our players that
little bit better.


On this episode, we chat with Lachie Wales.


As a sport-crazy kid on the Central Coast, as a youngster Lachie
tells us how he grew up idolising athletes of many sports.


The speedy winger tells how he developed his pace sprinting on
the sand, and the special moments coming through at the Central
Coast Mariners before trading the beach for the big smoke and
plying his trade at Melbourne City and Western United.


As a player who was promoted from train-on to full squad member
status in the recent weeks, and tells us all about what it means
to represent his country at the Olympics.


We hope you enjoy our chat with Lachie.
