6. Ben Kantarovski
Ben is the youngest player ever to be signed by a Hyundai A-League club. At the tender age of 15, Ben signed his first professional contract on a short-term injury waiver, but will continue to be a Newcastle Jet for the following 2 seasons.
An exciting central midfielder, who can slot into defence, Ben is sure to be a home-grown crowd favourite for years to come. He is comfortable on the ball and posseses considerable strength and understanding of the game for someone of his years.
