Ben Kantarovski

Benjamin Kantarovski (Macedonian: Бенјамин Кантаровски) (born 20 January 1992) is a former Australian professional soccer player who played for the Newcastle Jets as a midfielder.

Kantarovski was signed to a four-year contract by the Newcastle Jets in January 2008 while attending Lambton High School at only 15 years of age, making him the youngest player in A-League history to sign a full-time A-League contract, and one of the youngest players in world football to do so.

[3] Kantarovski was named the Newcastle Jets Player of the Season in his debut year, despite only playing a handful of games.

Verslejen cited Kantarovski's A-League and AFC Champions League experience, as well as being a member of the Young Socceroos Under-20 World Cup campaign as three big reasons for his appointment as captain.

He also captained the Young Socceroos to victory in the 2010 Asean Football Federation Under-19 Championship, after their 1–0 win in the final against Thailand.
