9. JORDAN HOLMES

Another Aussie goalkeeper who's been biding his time at the highest level, Holmes is a former understudy of Adam Federici, but outlasted the former Socceroo during a four-year spell at AFC Bournemouth.

He was in the first-team and reserve squads on a regular basis from the age of 18, but like a series of Aussies, could never quite craft his way into a first-team spot under the famously consistent Eddie Howes.

Not that there weren't bright moments along the way.

“I was over the moon when I first got the call to say ‘you’re coming back and you could be on the bench for Chelsea’,” Holmes told Fox Sports four years ago.

“Not many people at the age of 18 get the chance to be on the bench against the champions.

“I’ve been to Stamford Bridge once. It was a stadium tour. I’ve never, ever thought I’d be there sitting on the bench in a Premier League game.”

Eventually time ran out for Homes, amplified by the fact he also suffered a lean loan spell at Scottish club St.Mirren, which now leaves him a free agent. 

Like Glover, the former Sydney United goalkeeper made a series of appearances for Australia at youth level, but without a professional debut, his next move needs to be a good one.
