Congratulations to Caleb Cottom who made his 150th First Team appearance for Nomads in Saturday’s 8-1 victory over Selwyn! 👏

Caleb is the definition of a homegrown Nomad, having progressed through our Junior and Youth pathway before making his First Team debut in 2019 at just 16 years of age.

Since then, Caleb has gone on to become one of the key members of our First Team, establishing himself as a hugely influential player in the heart of our midfield and, more recently, taking on the responsibility of captaining the side following Jacob Anderson’s injury.

Caleb is also a fantastic club man who is always willing to help out, whether it is supporting our younger players, contributing around the club or simply being someone others can rely on, he consistently represents what it means to be a Nomad.

Caleb’s journey is a great example of the pathway we want to create at Nomads - developing our own players and providing them with the opportunity to progress into senior football.

Caleb, thank you for everything you continue to bring to Nomads - your commitment, leadership, character and, of course, your football.

We’re incredibly proud to see a homegrown player reach such a significant milestone and look forward to seeing plenty more appearances in blue!

𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫. 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧.

Congratulations Caleb! 👏

🌟 Our Youngest Helpers! ⚽️❤️💙

Who needs a helping hand when you’ve got our First Kicks crew on the job?! 😍🙌

Someof our youngest footballers were more than happy to lend a hand last weekend, helping carry the pop-up goals and getting the fields packed up for the day. 💪⚽️

It’s pretty special seeing the next generation of Nomads already getting stuck in and helping out. They might be our smallest players, but they’re already showing us they have BIG team spirit! ❤️💙

Future club legends in the making! Ka pai kids!🌟
