Rangers President Matt Findlay said it’s very exciting.

“Not only that Australia is in the World Cup but to have someone from the local area be playing in the team is absolutely amazing,” Mr Findlay said.

“How everyone got behind Valentino (Guseli) when he was at the Winter Olympic Games it just feels like that so we’re pretty stoked to see Kai playing the world game on the world stage,” he said.
