ANTONIS MARTIS 

While Antonis Martis is a name you may have never heard of, the 18-year old played against some of the best young players in Europe this season for FC Midtjylland U19. 

The Cypriot born Aussie signed for FC Midtjylland at 16 years of age and made 16 appearances in his first season in the U19's. 

He played mostly as a central midfielder but was utilised in left midfield and even centre forward. 

Martis built on his first season, locking in a place at the base of midfield at Midtjylland whilst becoming vice-captain of the side. 

This season he played 17 matches in the U19 league as well as all seven of his sides UEFA Youth League clashes. 

The midfielder was part of his teams 3-1 round of 16 victory over Manchester United, playing against youngsters who would go on to make first team debuts in Tahith Chong and Angel Gomes. 

Unfortunately, Midtjylland were eliminated by eventual winner FC Porto in the quarter-finals. 

While having played for the Australian U16's in Cambodia and Vietnam, Martis is by no means a nailed on future Socceroo. 

Since early 2018 the Cypriot born midfielder, who moved to Australia when he was three, has represented Cyprus U19 in friendlies and in U19 Euro qualifiers.
