The mighty Newcastle Jets are flying high — and local young gun Xavier Bertoncello is loving every minute of it.

Ahead of Saturday’s clash at McDonald Jones Stadium against the Western Sydney Wanderers, Xavier joins us in studio to talk about re-signing with the club for another two years, coming through the Jets Academy as a proud Newcastle local, and what’s behind the team’s resurgence this A-League season.

From kicking a ball at his first birthday party to scoring goals in the first team, Bertoncello reflects on the energy of the competition’s youngest squad, the influence of coach Mark Milligan, and how the Jets are preparing for another big showdown with the Wanderers.

Can the Jets keep their momentum rolling and secure another three points?

Go the Jets.
