From Sydney Olympic to the Olyroos: Mourdoukoutas' rise at the Wanderers

A busy few months for the Australian defender adapting quickly to the A-League

In a season of defensive instability at Western Sydney Wanderers, Tass Mourdoukoutas has emerged as a possible rock in seasons to come for the club.

The 20-year-old centre back has impressed across his seven starts under Markus Babbel to date - boasting the physique and mentality needed to make the position his own.

While still in the infancy of his A-League career, Mourdoukoutas hasn't shown the usual shakiness of youth and is reaping the rewards of playing in the NPL with Sydney Olympic as a teenager prior to joining the Wanderers.
