"The 21-year old, who joined the Dutch club from Brisbane Roar in April this year, holds both Australian and Polish passports and is being targeted to join the Poland national team ahead of their upcoming friendly with Australia. Sarota’s father, Tony, emigrated to Australia from Poland 30 years ago but insists he wants his son to play for the Socceroos but said that Poland is an option if new coach Holger Osieck fails to select him for Australia. "[8]
