BIOGRAPHY

Qantas Socceroos

Excellent form for Adelaide United, especially during the AFC Champions League where Adelaide reached the final, saw Galekovic rise to the top of the tree among the local keepers. That form saw him rewarded with his first international caps in the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers in early 2009. He was then included as back-up keeper for the 2010 World Cup squad.
