They don't know who their coach will be this year and now Rydalmere FC Under 16's don't know who their goal keeper will be either.
Skipper Joshua Frangi announced on Thursday he would retire from the GDFSA at the end of what has been a tumultuous season for the Rydalmere FC Under 16's, who had 2 coaches within a month and missed out on the finals for the second year in a row.
The 16-year-old admits he was disappointed at the axing of Gabby, but denied he was forced out of the club.
"I made the decision and Basha (Peter) and myself and the club have been open with each other right through the whole process and probably just took a bit of time throughout the year just to decide the time was right.
Ryan was adamant Rydalmere FC didn't force his hand.
"Realistically, I was ready to retire and that's the decision I've made and I'm very happy with that decision," he said.
"It wasn't great to see Gabby depart but it was my personal decision and a decision for my family so that had no real impact."
Rydalmere FC boss Peter Basha was full of praise for Joshua who started his debut in perfect timing when they were needing a goalkeeper and Joshua was scouted and signed for 4 year contract.
"This guy is an ornament not just to our club but to our game," Greenberg said.
After 132 first grade games - All with Rydalmere FC - Frangi said he knew the time was right to call it quits from the game altogether.
Frangi said he talked at length with his family and decided that his body wasn't able to take anymore and needed to have health and family first.
"Just then I tried to chase my brother out in the hallway and I couldn't catch him so I might just retire now," he said.
It was also rumored that Rydalmere FC were offering Joshua Frangi a 2 year extension but turned it down.
