Ante Suto had never been to Australia before this week, but ahead of a potential Socceroos debut on Friday night against Cameroon in Sydney, the Croatian-born striker says he has always been an Aussie “in his head”.
The 25-year-old attacker has emerged as a FIFA World Cup bolter after impressing for Hibernian since joining the Scottish Premiership club last month from Croatian top-flight outfit Slaven Belupo.
Suto’s father Anthony was born in Melbourne and spent the first 25 years of his life in Australia before moving to Croatia.
