We are excited to see that Christian Souvlis has been selected to join Melbourne City FC.

Christian joined RFI in 2017 as an Under 9. In this time, we saw him grow and develop his football ability. He has worked extremely hard for this opportunity and everyone at RFI is so proud.

We will continue to support you throughout your football journey and look forward to what the future holds.

💬 A FEW WORDS FROM HIS FORMER COACH, JOSH ZAMMIT: Christian typifies all the attributes and values that we hope to see and develop in our players. He is not just a great footballer, but he is also a great person and it has been a pleasure to see Christian up close over the past season. His presence increases the intensity of training and lifts the standard for all around him.

We are all so proud of Christian not just for his achievement for being selected for Melbourne City but also the young man that he has become after his time with RFI. We wish him all the best and we will all be supporting him in the rest of his football journey.

💬 A FEW WORDS FROM HIS FAMILY: He always remembers Santi saying “It’s football, not soccer” and Christian’s own quote is “You don’t know football unless you have played at RFI”.

As a family we believe RFI has contributed enormously to Christian’s development. He was lucky to be surrounded by great coaches, team mates and families. There have been so many highlights and we are grateful for his time at RFI.
