Cameron Burgess has joined the growing Scottish cohort by being named in the Socceroos squad for Sunday’s friendly against Mexico.
Cam Burgess waited seven years for a Socceroos call-up - then had to wait another few months while surgeons pieced his face back together.
“I couldn’t tell you the amount of fractures. It was a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, to be honest with you,” Burgess said from Socceroos camp in the United States. Burgess, who moved to Perth with his family when he was 11, played for Scotland’s under-18 and under-19 teams before transferring his allegiance to Australia and representing Aurelio Vidmar’s Olyroos for their unsuccessful Rio Olympics qualification campaign.Cam Burgess playing for Ipswich Town in August.Burgess returned to the UK in 2011 to join Fulham’s academy and then signed a professional contract, before being loaned out to Ross County , among other clubs.
Burgess, who stands at 1.94m, has been playing his club football with 43-time Socceroo Massimo Luongo, and now enters Arnold’s camp alongside another big Scottish centre-back in the 1.98m Souttar with the hope of making his full senior international debut.“I never really gave up hope, it’s just a case of keep your head down and work hard,” he said.
