#33 - Bailey Wright - The Journey to becoming a Socceroo

Bailey Wright is a professional footballer currently playing for Sunderland in the United Kingdom.

Bailey has represented the Socceroos 24 times and was selected in the 23-man squad for the 2014 World Cup.

He played 179 games for Preston North End, 72 for Bristol City (including captaincy) and has currently represented Sunderland 30 times.

In this episode Bailey shares his incredible story including his solo journey to England at age 16 with the hope of making it. He recalls his earliest memories of those first few days abroad, the living arrangements and what it was like receiving his debut and his first pro contract.

He tells us about his highs of his career including being called up to the national team, debuting for Australia and playing alongside his heroes.

Bailey also shares some insight into the dark side of being a professional athlete including social media abuse and match fixing accusations.

The most vulnerable and gut wrenching story though is that of the 2018 World Cup where Bailey describes the feeling of finding out he missed out on selection.

Bailey is so humble, funny and raw as he shares the highs and lows of his professional career. We are so grateful for this opportunity and thankful to Bailey for giving us his time.

You are going to love this one hell of a story.
