Midfielder Yuta Konagaya, who has spent over a month with Extra Bula FC, has expressed admiration for the club’s young talent, highlighting their impressive performances in recent matches. The Japanese player, experienced in Australia’s competitive leagues with teams such as St George Saints, Blacktown City, and Port Melbourne, brings a wealth of professional knowledge to the team.
Konagaya specifically praised the skills of promising players like 16-year-old Maikah Dau, 17-year-old Melvin Prakash, and Veleni Rasorewa. He noted that these local talents have acclimatized well to the professional setting, demonstrating significant progress since their inaugural match against Vanuatu last month.
With an optimistic outlook, Konagaya believes that if these young athletes maintain their current trajectory, they are well-positioned for successful futures in football. Extra Bula FC is set to face Vanuatu United on the 22nd of this month, an encounter that fans and players alike are looking forward to with anticipation. The growth of these young players could be pivotal for the team’s future success and adds an exciting chapter to their journey in the league.
