 Sterjovski
returns to the Lions Den in 2010
PLFC MEDIA
RELEASE
Monday 11 January 2010
Former club captain and championship winning
player, Tony ‘British’ Sterjovski, will once again
pull on the Preston Lions jersey this season to
spearhead the club’s Victorian State League One
campaign.
The 32-year old returns to BT Connor Reserve after
spending a year with Victorian Premier League
outfit, Hume City, where he was instrumental in
helping them to reach a preliminary final last
season.
According to Sterjovski, the aim of achieving
promotion back into the Victorian Premier League
was one of his main motivations for returning to
the club.
“Preston is unarguably one of the biggest and most
successful clubs in Victoria and I am absolutely
committed to making sure we reclaim our rightful
position in the highest possible level of
competition in this state.”
“My achievements at Preston so far include a
Victorian Premier League championship, club Best
and Fairest award, club captaincy and Bill Fleming
Medal as player of the year as voted by the media.
Having followed Preston as a kid during the
National League days and spent all of my junior
years at the club, I have always considered
Preston to be my home as playing for the club has
always brought out the best in my football
ability.
“So I consider this coming season in State League
One to be another special challenge of what I can
hopefully achieve at Preston.”
Coach Zeljko Gagula said he is thrilled with
Sterjovski’s signing.
“One of my major aims during this pre-season was
to recruit a senior player capable of injecting
some much needed leadership, experience and
firepower to our young up and coming squad. And
we’ve certainly been able to achieve that with
British who in my opinion is one of the most
gifted and dedicated footballers in this state. As
a midfielder, he also has a lethal eye for goal
which will prove invaluable.”
