Player Pathways
Leganes FC has confirmed that the LaLiga Club will work exclusively with Brisbane Strikers Football Club in identifying and nurturing talented Australian Players in their Madrid based LaLiga Club.
Effective from February 2020, Leganes FC will attend on the Brisbane Strikers Club to assist with Identifying talented youth and will then offer them a scholarship for further development.
Brisbane Strikers will be the only National Premier League Club in Australia to have this professional association with a LaLiga Club of such level and capacity. Unlike the ‘franchised’ models of brand names- this is a solid and developed relationship within the Clubs.
Mr Morris Pagniello; International Representative for CD Leganés FC stated on the exclusive partnership “Brisbane Strikers Football Club is synonymous with excellence in Player development and demanding professional attitudes and mentalities within both their teams and as an overall Club mentality. This combined with their excellent facilities and professional staffing, means that we have a perfect platform to give talent a solid step into the Professional and semi-Professional Leagues in Spain. This is not a franchise or expansion of CD Leganes FC footprint- it is a solid building on the relationship with Salvatore Sottile, a Board Director of Brisbane Strikers FC and the fact we are earnestly wanting Australian talent to move to another international level.”
