Our Bulls FC Academy Men and Boys teams are back for the 2025 NPL NSW/ League One Season!
Our First Grade and U20s Men’s teams kicked off their campaign last week against the Northern Tigers, while our newly promoted Boys Youth League teams begin their season this Saturday against Manly United FC.
Before we kick off the new season, let’s take a moment to reflect on last season’s success and see what’s in store for our Men’s and Boys’ teams in 2025!
League One Men’s Season
The 2024 League One Men’s season was an outstanding one for both our First Grade and Under-20s squads. Wrapping up the season in style, the Bulls FC Academy Men’s teams collected several accolades at the Football NSW Gala Awards Night:
- Men’s League One Club Championship Winners
- U20s League One Men’s Player of the Year – Michael Krslovic
- League One Men’s Coach of the Year – Craig Noone
The Bulls FC Academy has continued to be a crucial pathway to our A-League Men’s team, with several players progressing through the ranks to earn a spot in the senior squad.
Currently, four players in our A-League squad have been promoted from the Bulls FC Academy: Frans Deli, Dean Bosnjak, Oliver Randazzo, and Alexander Robinson. Past graduates, including Ariath Piol, Jed Drew, and Oliver Jones, have also secured moves to overseas clubs.
Several of our Academy players have received international call-ups as well. Recently, Dean Bosnjak, Alexander Robinson, Frans Deli, and Oliver Randazzo were named on the Young Socceroos bench for the opening match of the AFC U-20 Asian Cup against the Kyrgyz Republic.
Our youngest-ever signing, Henrique Oliveira, also received an international call-up for the Subway Joeys (U17s), while Zane Helweh was selected for the Young Socceroos squad for the ASEAN U-19 Boys’ Championship.
Boys’ Youth League One
Kicking off the 2025 season with a match against Manly United, our Boys’ Youth League teams wrapped up 2024 in the best possible way – promotion!
Previously competing in Boys’ Youth League Two, our Academy teams had an incredible season, securing promotion to Boys’ Youth League One. They also made three Grand Final appearances, with our Under 14s and Under 16s winning their respective titles, while our Under-18s also reached the Grand Final.
Our Under 16s further cemented their dominance by securing the Premiership for their age group, holding the top spot on the ladder for most of the season.
Our Women’s and Girls’ Academy teams kick off their season on 9 March, so stay tuned for what’s sure to be another exciting year ahead!
