NSW Scholarship signing's Adelaide visit
If Aaron Duncan’s current luck is anything to go by there’s a good chance he’ll be playing for Adelaide in the future.
Adelaide’s third NSW Scholarship signing made his first visit to the club recently and watched the win over Carlton.
The game was the second Adelaide match he has seen live – the first being the Round 17 win against Sydney.
The 15-year-old from Sydney spent three days in Adelaide with his parents being showed around the club meeting staff, players and also had a brief hello with Coach Neil Craig.
Duncan is currently playing for local Sydney side Pennant Hills in the under 15’s competition and his passion for the game has stemmed from his father Bob.
“Dad was brought up in Broken Hill so he has always loved the game, he just let us play,” said Duncan, who was spotted by Adelaide scouts at a schoolboy’s carnival in NSW.
“Dad has been a big inspiration and he has coached me.”
Duncan is currently in year nine and will spend the rest of the year doing his studies.
He will continue his football in Sydney and hopes to return to Adelaide later this year for his first training session with the club.
“I’ll keep in contact with the club, train hard and do my own training and hopefully come down every holidays,” he said.
