The Ole Football Academy production line never falters. This week came news that winger Otto Ingham, defender Robert Sabo, and goalkeeper Kees Sims are off to join Swedish Division 1 side Ljungskile SK for the 2022 season. All three were among the top performers for Western Suburbs last year now all three – the oldest of whom is Ingham who turns 20 next week – have surged into the pro ranks.
This move came about through a strategic partnership between LSK and Ole Academy which was sorted out last year, effectively a lesser version of their existing links with the likes of Torslanda (Sweden) and Helsingor (Denmark). In terms of standards of play, it’s somewhere in between those two.
