Brisbane Roar’s new midfielder Georgios Vrakas says he would “love to play for Australia” as he prepares for his A-League debut against Macarthur FC tonight.
The 24-year-old playmaker, who has represented Greece at youth level and previously played for Napoli and Atromitos, joins the Roar as a local player thanks to his Australian-born father.
Roar officials expect big things from the “creative, goal-scoring” midfielder, with Vrakas praising coach Michael Valkanis for encouraging attacking football.
Having quickly settled in Brisbane, Vrakas said he feels at home among the country’s strong Greek community and is eager to make an impact: “We’re ready.”
