DREAMS don’t come bigger than this for 18-year-old Gurang Kuol, the incredibly talented young soccer player who recently debuted onto the international stage, representing Australia as one of the youngest ever Socceroos.
Hailing from Shepparton, Gurang came up through the ranks of the GV Suns as a junior player from the under 11s right through to the under 18s.
With an insatiable drive and passion for the game, Gurang would often play multiple games across different age groups for the GV Suns on a given day, signaling early on that he was a young player that had something special to contribute to the beautiful game.
After playing against the New Zealand All Whites on Sunday, September 25 in an international friendly, Gurang reminded the press at his first ever media conference, that he had always wanted ‘to inspire young children to dream big.’
As the first ever Socceroo Senior to come from Shepparton, there is no doubt of his lasting impact.
As a springboard for numerous other international and national players, the GV Suns is always ready to assist new and developing players to rise through the ranks, just like Gurang. With junior trials for the Suns fast approaching, potentials are encouraged to check-out the club’s facebook page and website for 2023 trial information.
