In the quarter-final match between U17 Vietnam and U17 Australia in the early morning of May 17, Max Court was the name that received a lot of attention. The Vietnamese-born midfielder left his mark with 2 assists, making a great contribution to helping the kangaroo team win a ticket to the semi-finals with a 3-0 victory.
Although not directly scoring, Max Court is an important link in U17 Australia's attacking style. The player born in 2009 often appears in the midfield area and right flank, making many quick passes before opening up opportunities for his teammates.
Few people know that behind the performance in the continental arena is a systematic training process that has lasted for many years. Max Court is currently under contract with APIA Leichhardt FC - a traditional team playing at the NPL New South Wales system of Australia.
He grew up from the SAP 9 youth training program, which gathers many promising football players of this country.
From the age of 15, Max was promoted to the APIA Leichhardt FC first team and became the youngest player to ever play for this club. This season, he has played 8 times for the first team and scored 2 goals. This is a remarkable number for a player who has not yet turned 17.
At the national team level, Max participated in the U17 Southeast Asian tournament but did not have the opportunity to show himself due to injury. However, the coaching staff still highly appreciates the development potential of this player. To date, Max Court has worn the U17 Australia shirt 6 times and scored 3 goals.
Possessing a height of 1m80 and the ability to play many positions in the attack, Max Court is considered one of the notable faces of the current young Australian players.
