Qantas Socceroos
The Ukrainian-born striker burst into the scene at Perth Glory in 2007/08 with a style based on speed and strength. He scored six goals in the final eight games of the season.
He made the Under 23s squad for the 2008 Olympic Games and rerurned to Perth a renewed confidence but with an eye to Europe.
He took up a contract with Dutch side FC Twente in January 2009 and after only a handful of games in 12 months, decided on a loan deal with Belgian outfit KSV Roeselare in January 2010.
He scored regularly in Belgium and that form was enough for him to make the squad of 31 for the 2010 World Cup
