From Meadows to London: Help Connor Reach His West Ham United Dream

Fourteen-year-old Connor Mundie, from the Adelaide Hills, has been selected to represent South Australia on the West Ham United Youth Development Tour to the UK in April 2026. This is an incredible opportunity to train with Premier League West Ham United Academy and play against English academy teams.

Connor’s journey started right here in the Adelaide Hills, playing for Mount Barker United and now the Adelaide Hills Hawks and training countless hours to improve his skills, speed, and mindset. Connor attended a school holiday clinic here in South Australia in July, after making a great impression he was selected to attend the West Ham National Camp in September.

After standing out at the West Ham United National Camp on the Gold Coast, Connor was invited to join the international tour, one of only a handful of players selected from across Australia and New Zealand.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a small town kid with big dreams. He’ll represent his state, train with elite coaches, and take another step toward his goal of one day playing professional football.

We’re raising funds to help cover travel and tour costs for Connor (and his dad, Kyle, who will accompany him as required for the trip).

Total expenses are approximately $18,000, including flights, accommodation, insurance, and tour fees.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps make this kids dream possible.

Thank you for helping us get Connor from Meadows to London, your support means the world. ⚽️
