The Olyroos Podcast: Caleb Watts
from Socceroos Hosted by Football Australia
Welcome to The Olyroos Podcast, where we take football fans inside camp in Japan to help you get to know our Olympic squad that little bit better. During this series we caught up with members of the squad as they prepare to take on the world in the Tokyo 2020 Men’s Football Tournament - asking them all exactly what it means to pull on the Green and Gold. And what better way to start than with Caleb Watts, who plies his trade at Premier League club Southampton. The 19-year-old midfielder talks us through a whirlwind few months, headlined by a league debut against his boyhood club Arsenal in January. He also casts his mind back to representing the Joeys at the 2019 U-17s FIFA World Cup and how that all came about. We discuss the behind the scenes of rising through the ranks at Southampton, from day to day life to the teammate he looks up to most. A place in the U23’s select in Spain last month was followed by a call up to Tokyo, capping off a monumental six months for the youngster who speaks as powerfully as anyone about what it means to represent Australia.
