Conrad was born in Bathurst in 1997. Like many boys his age he has always dreamt about being a great soccer player. So when Conrad heard about the trials for the AC Milan Soccer Academy in Sydney, he begged his parents to allow him to come to Sydney and trial out. Having been succesful at the trials and tasted the A.C. Milan style, Conrad decided he wanted to learn his soccer from one of the biggest clubs in the world.But being a part of the Milan Academy in Sydney was not quite so simple. Conrad would have to leave his home in Bathurst where he lived with his parents and sister, and move in with his grandparents in Sydney. On top of that, a change of school was necessary and with that a whole new way of life. In reality this was a very daunting challenge for a boy entering adolescence - yet one that Conrad took on.

Conrad always has a ready smile and a keen enthusiasm for all training sessions, and is always eager to learn something new every week. Undoubtedly, he has moments of nostalgia and homesickness but everyone in the Milan Academy rallies around and we have all taken him under our wing. Andrea Icardi, the Director of Coaching applauds his courage “ Such dedication is a joy to see. The whole family has given Conrad support for the dream of a young boy. He will do well as he has the qualities and determination to reach his goal."
