Meet Nathan, in the last 18 months he’s gone from working at his local gym, to the VFL, to the AFL and now, just 3 months into the job, he’s helped Western United FC to their maiden A-League Championship!

He tells us all about his experience in the Commercial team at WUFC, what it’s like working in the lead-up to a grand final, plus all the details on how he landed these dream jobs.
