Brisbane Roar defender, Lucas Herrington has been selected in the Young Socceroos squad to compete at the 2025 U20 AFC Asian Cup in China.

The 17-year-old Queenslander, who signed a three year scholarship contract with Roar ahead of the 2024/25 season made his A-League debut against Western Sydney in December.
