Braedon Reynolds with Sydney Swans starsBraedon Reynolds, a promising junior from the North Delta Junior Australian Football League (NDJAFL) has had an experience of a lifetime for any international player, a chance to play football in Australia.

Spending 4 weeks in Australia to visit a family friend, Braedon wanted to keep his footy skills sharp as he would be trying out for the Canadian U17 (Wolfpack) team that was getting ready to play the USA in August '07. And so took the opportunity to help improve his football and contacted AFL Canada's Mike McFarlane to see if it was possible for him to play or train with an Australian team whilst in Australia.
