“(Jelacic) has got New Zealand and Australia chasing him,” Zadkovich told reporters post-match. The silky Glory talent was a key contributor in his side’s stoic 1-0 win over Western Sydney Wanderers at HBF Park on Friday night, after which Zadkovich identified Jelacic, along with fellow Olyroo and Wanderers midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof, out as two of Australia’s most exciting young prospects to watch develop in the coming years. In midweek Jelacic – who represented New Zealand at U17 level – was selected as part of an Olyroos training camp set to take place in Europe between March 20-28, beginning preparation for the nation’s qualification run toward the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Perth Glory head coach Ruben Zadkovich has labelled former New Zealand youth international Keegan Jelacic “the brightest talent in Australian football” as the 20-year-old appears set to commit his long-term future to green and gold.
