Futsal (or futebol de salão - which translates as "indoor football" from Portuguese) is played in Brazil and has been influential in the development of their national teams success since it was invented in around 1930 in Uraguay. It has been a huge part of Carles footballing development and can be seen in the style of game he plays, as a junior Carle won 5 national Futsal titles.

During his days as a teenage schoolboy, he played football for his high school, Patrician Brothers College, Fairfield. Even at this stage, Carle displayed much promise and potential as a footballer. His most notable football achievement at school level was helping his school win the much coveted Bill Turner Cup competition in 1996.
He can no doubt teach our Academy a trick or three and it is this foundation that has made him the most skilfull player at the club. Watch our new number 10 tomorrow. Never mind LT23 watch NC10!!
