as seen on au.fourfourtwo.comPromising Newcastle United teenager Bradden Inman could be the latest Australian youngster lost to the Socceroos after receiving a call-up to Scotland's under-19 squad.
Adelaide-born Inman, who is still only 17, has progressed rapidly this season at St James' Park and as a result he has attracted the attention of the Scottish national team.
Inman started the season playing with Newcastle's academy side but the youngster, who is nicknamed 'Kaka' at St James' Park, has impressed so much he has been promoted to the club's first-team and was amongst the substitutes for the Magpies recent English Premier League match at Manchester City in late January.
But despite being born in Australia, the teenager who joined Newcastle at under-15 level is eligible to play for Scotland because his mother was born there.
Now Scotland's under-19's boss Archie Gemmill has selected Inman to be part of the team to face France in Wednesday's International Challenge Match in Clairefontaine.
Australian fans shouldn't despair the loss of a young talent just yet though, because FIFA regulations state that a player is only committed to representing a country once they have played for that nation at under-21 level.
