Rory in action during half-time of the Round Two First Player Spotlight Team game. Ten-year-old Rory Stenhouse plays in the Sunshine Coast FC Academy, and has been kicking a football ever since he learned to walk.

Rory’s Dad, Bill, played in the UK and Adelaide and has always encouraged Rory’s love of football.

Rory’s favourite footballer is Brazilian da Silva Santos, and the young footballer would love to eventually be able to play as well as him. His favourite position is left-wing.

This year, Rory would like to learn more tricks and to improve everything he does on the pitch.

His favourite footballing moment so far has been attending a Brisbane Roar Academy at Ballymore a few weeks ago.
